Wider than the edges of the universe!

This lens is the top of the line wide angle. A significant improvement over the last 14mm and a must have for anyone who loves the distorted look wide angle gives. When I was a kid my dad gave me a very wide lens for an old minolta. Since then i have always loved the look this brings to certain photos. I have tested this lens and the results are spectacular. It is very fast and works well in low light. I highly recommend this lens, despite its price.

Just Wide Enough

I have a 17-55 Canon lens which I use on my 30D and 50D. It works great. When I got my 5D MkII I purchased the 14mm lens. It is awesome. For me just wide enough - not quite fisheye. It is a lens which offers incredible possibilities for unique views and perspectives and its speed certainly helps - although I tend to go for more depth of field which it accomodates as well. I have several L series lenses, but I can see where this one will be my "creative" lens. If you can afford it, you will be thrilled to own and use it.

Super sharpness from corner to the center at 2.8

Had used the previous revision before. I was amazed by the how wide and the distortion control. Finally bought it late last year. It's an amazing lens. Super sharpness and color!

significant improvement over the previous lens

as soon as i received it, i set my camera up on a tripod and shot the same picture, first with the old canon 14mm, and then with the new. the improvement in the new lens in terms of corner to corner sharpness was really significant. the only thing that was somewhat disappointing, was that the new lens had considerably more fringing around high-contrast edges. i shot an image of an interior with a view out the window and there was a very wide, highly saturated blue fringe even in the center of the image. the old 14mm experienced fringing too, but rarely in the center of the image, and even at the edges, was not as extreme as it is in the center of the new lens. granted the difference in luminance was quite extreme between the interior and exterior (at least 5 stops) so this is not a problem that would effect every image, but it is something to be aware of. even with this problem, i would still recommend the new lens again as the increase in sharpness far outweighs the inconvenience of having to retouch the occasional fringing.
