The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.
Opinion:I have the canon 16-35 f4 but I wanted something at 2.8 for my Full Frame without spending a lot, as I got a bit tired of these automatisms that the latest Canon creatures have so I thought it could be the right solution and so it was. I would recommend it to those who are doubtful about buying
Opinion:I took it used to photograph the aurora and for special shots, I am very satisfied with the image quality and the possibilities it offers for original shots. The construction is solid and the ring is nice fluid even if the indications are not very precise, with mirrorless manual focus is not a problem
Cons:Distortion, MF, inability to put screw filters, no IS
Opinion:Lent by a friend and used enough to decide which wide angle to buy. I'll start by saying it's a best buy. Even if they have made later versions, finding a good specimen at a good used price is a bargain not to be missed. Watch out for variability, if you can test it first. 14mm give a very wide angle of view. It has no autofocus but the dial is very smooth. The 2.8 diaphragm allows you to shoot even wide-field stars. The backlight is a problem given the convex lens. You can not use screw filters but only expensive and bulky plate filters. There is a very obvious barrel distortion. If the copy is good the sharpness is so much and homogeneous otherwise if the copy is misaligned you could find yourself centered at an angle with record sharpness and a split angle. Try it before you buy it. For the rest, for the price especially used, it is recommended
Pros:Well made lens gives the impression of sturdiness fixed hood that for this type of lens is obvious
Cons:From my point of view there are none except that it does not have autofocus but given its excursion it is not indispensable.
Opinion:I bought it used at the price of 170.00 euros and I would say that it is a good wide angle, it shows off beautiful images, it needs to have corrections in post production after which it can safely compare with hundreds of euro lenses, the optimal aperture for me is F8 and F 5.6 under which I hardly push, personally I would recommend it to those who know how to use camera raw well.
Cons:Usual indication on the ring of incorrect focus
Opinion:I think it is an optics that for the purchase price of the used and for its optical qualities should not be missing in the kit of any photographer, amateur or not. Speaking of a 14mm the defects are rather obvious type distortion, little detail and sharpness at the edges at full aperture. Perfect to experiment and always find new shooting points, very interesting and fun for the Street. Personally I never go below F 5.6 and I focus at 0.7m poor and I always have everything in focus with a more than satisfactory sharpness (even at the edges). Soon I will change it simply to switch to the same focal length but with native attachment for my car but I already know that I will regret it! I reiterate that starting from the purchase price of the used is a highly recommended goal!
