Only noticable on large prints though.

I'd pony up for the 14-24 though if you can afford it. Sharper than the Nikon 14mm f2.8 prime, and is just an astounding lens. You will never part with it!
Thanks for that Peter. I have the 14-24mm Nikon already and yes it is a fantastic lens. The Samyang 14mm is also a very good lens and is considerably smaller and lighter.

I was more looking for a fisheye to go even wider field most likely for time lapses like Alex's recent terrific time lapse.
