from Sammy's (rented 35/d Summary: Compared to the Canon 15mm and the 17-35 L lenses, the 14mm is spectacular. The manual focus works correctly and the lense really has amazing sharpness (even to the edges) for its focal length. While it costs a lot, the rental price on it is pretty reasonable for the edge it can give you, especially if you're stuck with a 10D or D60. Well worth the difference in money between it and the 15mm. Put it on a 1DS or 35mm and it's really awesome. Strengths: Well built, infintity setting is correct. Very sharp, decent flare characteristics at night (comparable to my Canon 50mm 1.4). Fast enough for dusk aerial shots. Acceptable sharpness wide open. Weaknesses: Probably too expensive for most people to have in their kit, highly convex front element is unprotected and vulnerable to finger prints, etc. Similar Products Used: Canon 15mm, Canon 17-35, Various medium format lenses Customer Service: For this lense, no experience. For other lenses, disappointing at best.
