Check out what people say about Rokinon FE14M-C.

I am utilizing this lens on a Canon 5D Mark II. I have numerous zoom lenses in this variety, but was trying to find a fast, superwide prime. The choice would be this or the Canon 14L II. This is the exact same as the Samyang, rebranded.

After receiving the lens, I ran some tests against 16-35 2.8, and sigma 12-24, and was floored. The corner to corner sharpness of this lens is fantastic. I peaks at around 5.6, but the corners at 2.8 are better than the other 2 lenses at f11. the microcontrast and color is very good. The barrel distortion is hefty, and complex with a mustache distortion, however, often not well visible in landscape, but visible in architectural images. It is correctable using a $25 program called ptlens, and there is also a profile for acr 6.1 out there, which works great. It is an absolute bargain. I purchased a focus confirmation chip for 14 from ebay, glued it on, and I get focus confirmation too.

I have actually had this lens along side Nikon 14-24 2.8, adjusted to canon with usage on my 5d2, and at 2.8, the rokinon is sharper in the corners has less flare and less CA than the mighty Nikon. Nevertheless the nikon has less distortion, and catches up by f 5.6 even in the corners. Furthermore, do not count on the distance markings on the focus ring. On my copy infinity focus is accomplished at the 3 meter marking. 3 meters is achieved at 2m. for my design of shooting I do not find this bothersome at all. for landscape shooting I focus with live view anyway. for hand held, my focus is between 1 and 2 meters the majority of the time and it works fine.
