slrgear‘s review Edit

If you were reading this in order to decide whether an upgrade from the current Canon EF 14mm ƒ/2.8 is worth it, the answer is an unequivocal yes: Canon seems to have improved just about everything that is physically possible to improve upon with this lens. If you were looking at getting into ultra-wide angle photography and were wondering whether to buy one of the above four lenses, the choice is going to be more about how much money you're willing to spend. Thankfully, this choice only becomes truly difficult if you have a full-frame body.

photozone‘s review Edit

The Canon EF 14mm f/2.8 USM L II is an impressive lens both in terms of optical performance as well as mechanical quality. It provides an exceedingly sharp center resolution combined with very good borders/corners all the way up including f/11. A highlight is the moderate amount of barrel distortion which stands out compared to zoom lenses such as the EF 16-35mm f/2.8 USM L II. Typical for such ultra-wide lenses there's some light fall-off at f/2.8 and, to a lesser degree, at f/4 but the problem is comparatively well controlled for a lens in this class.

The-Digital-Picture‘s review Edit

The Canon EF 14mm f/2.8 L II USM Lens is so wide that getting adequate full frame flash coverage can be a problem. Expect to minimally need the built-in flip-down diffuser on an external flash. These flashes can also utilize a Sto-Fen Omni-Bounce Diffuser to yield complete flash coverage. Bouncing the flash is another method of covering the 14mm field of view.

Shutterbug‘s review Edit

The expansive coverage of a 14mm lens may be more than you think you need. But you’d be surprised to discover that it reveals a world of possibilities that might otherwise escape you. While it certainly is ideal when shooting in open country, a super-wide lens can do wonders in tight quarters. To check out this lens, and along the way explore the potential of this focal length, I took the Canon EF 14mm and my Canon EOS 5D to Prague recently, where I practically forced myself to think only “ultra-wide.”
