Hi all, after a few days looking on the net at wide field lenses and toing and froing, I have ordered the Samyang 14mm f2.8 today. I did a full 360 in the last day from the Canon 16-35 L f2.8 after seeing the Samyang results with only 1/3 the price. Other than the moustache distortion of the Samyang in many of the other tests it came out better than the Canon. Also considered the more expensive 14mm f2.8 Canon, but the cheaper alternative won me.

Just hope I get a good copy, as the only downside I keep hearing is the 5 lenses Colin had to try before getting a good one. Prices of this lens vary from over $800-less than $400.

All the best.
