Canon EF 14mm f/2.8 L USM Lens

Please note while reading this review that the Canon EF 14mm f/2.8 L USM Lens has been replaced by the significantly better performing Canon EF 14mm f/2.8 L II USM Lens

Canon EF 14 mm f/2.8L USM II

Almost every producer which has ever offered full frame optics, strives to have at least one fixed-focal ultra wide angle lens with rectilinear projection (so preserving straight lines) in their line-up. The most often it is a 14 mm f/2.8 piece of...

excellent build quality ; very good image quality in the frame centre ; low longitudinal chromatic aberration ; not very bothersome distortion on the APS-C sensor ; slight vignetting on the small sensor ; fast and noiseless autofocus

weak image quality on the edge of full frame in the wide range of apertures ; distinct lateral chromatic aberration even near frame centre ; noticeable distortion on full frame ; pronounced astigmatism ; visible coma in the corners of full frame ; high...
