Canon's EF 14mm f/2.8L II USM lens replaces an existing lens with similar specifications. Designed for professional photographers and usable on both 'full frame' DSLRs and models with smaller ('APS-C sized') image sensors, it has many of the same specifications as the lens it replaces.

The Canon EF 14mm f/2.8L II USM Lens is currently my favorite ultra-wide angle EF lens . For many years, my preferred full-frame-capable ultra-wide angle lens was the Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L USM Lens and then its replacement, the even better (at the wide end at least) Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM...

Canons new EF 14mm f/2.8 L II USM lens, an ultra-wide angle, is going have a lot of architectural, sports and press photographers lined up at the counter with their checkbooks or charge cards in hand.

Canon makes a nice little 14/2.8L lens. It isn't really very useful most of the time. Its exposed half-dome front element will keep you in constant fear of water, grime, fingers, and the rest of the world. It costs $2,319.00 (B&H Photo, October 1995). I bought one. Why?
