I needed to get this focal point twice to get a sharp duplicate, first one was off on the correct focus edge. This one I have now is flawless and handles bending and CA great and sharp appropriate to the edge.

Little; Light; Sharper then Canon 14mm I; No bending on a 1.3 body

Costly; front focal point pronto harm; yet the idea of the structure

This is a superb lens; a 'must have' for the creative Canon photographer. When reading negative reviews, bear in mind that wide lenses can be very difficult to use (particularly for first-timers) and require a lot of patience and practice regarding framing and composition.

Love this lens, love it's perspective. Since purchasing three weeks ago it has hardly left my camera. Takes some practice learning how to use it. Sharp, minimal distortion - the beauty of a prime lens. Keep the lens cap on when not taking photos to protect the bulbous front element.

ho acquistato questo obiettivo perché avevo bisogno di un super grandangolare, alla fine la mia scelta è caduta su questo, dovo aver provato focali analoghe di altre marche e non sono rimasto per nulla soddisfatto, in sentesi, è un'ottica straordinaria, nitido ai nordi, non distorce per nulla, ha un...

I gave this lens the top rating. It is expensive and lots of people will knock it a little for this reason. But I find it to be the perfect tool for some types of jobs. It is a specialty lens for sure. I shoot real-estate photos as part of my business.

Try using the 14mm on a full frame camera without a major grin on your face.

Fantastic lens for interior pictures. No noticeable barrel distortion, great image quality. I had been using a Nikon 14-24 but was getting frustrated spending time correcting the barrel distortion.

Consistent Output; Fast / accurate auto-focus; Insignificant Distortion

Gary Wolstenholme reviews this ultra-wide angle 14mm f/2.8L II USM lens for Canon full-frame cameras.

Great build quality; Excellent sharpness in the centre; Relatively lightweight

Expensive; especially when compared to alternatives; Sharpness towards the edges of the frame could be better

I tested this lens on a full frame camera at every aperture under a variety of settings. The lens was not real sharp, even in the center, until around f/8 and showed a lot of distortion towards the edges regardless of the aperture setting.

Fast auto-focus; Superior build quality

Semi-sharp images

"There's not a lot of point to use this lens on a crop sensor because in that case the magnificent field of view, amazing sharpness and brilliant distortion control get lost in the cropping of the image circle.
