Comments about Canon Canon Lens Hood EF 14mm f/2.8L II USM Lens:
I bought this lens not realizing the results I would achieve. When I first used it, the scope of the lens blew me away and I love what you can do and achieve with this lens. I understand some people may expect a zoom, but it would totally destroy the picture you get and for landscapes, city life and large areas of space where you want to bring it all together, this is the lens for you. I love it and am so happy to have bought it.

Comments about Canon Canon Lens Hood EF 14mm f/2.8L II USM Lens:
I've rarely encountered a lens that has so quickly stoked my imagination and produced gratifying results "right out of the box"! This superbly sharp and well made lens knocks my sense of space and composition into high gear, giving consistently mind bending images. I've felt challenged by the expanded point of view it provides to overcome moments of creative malaise. The lens kick starts new ways of recording one's subjects of visual delight. I am thrilled to own such a high quality tool that holds such promise of expanding creative activity for years to come!

The view through this lens is amazing, everything without the fish-eye look. The colors are great.

Comments about Canon Canon Lens Hood EF 14mm f/2.8L II USM Lens:
This is a super expensive lens...but people who want it know exactly *why* they are getting it. As far as an UWA lens, nothing beats it on a Canon.
The guy that complains about it not being a zoom doesn't understand the point of these UWA's. IF Canon did that, the lens would weigh more and would undoubtedly have issues with distortion/pin cushion that is inevitable when you're dealing with something this wide. IF you want an UWA, then you clearly don't need a zoom, since that's not the point of an UWA!
If you have crop-sensored Canon (Rebel, 40D, etc.), save your money...and get the 10-22mm. This is definitely a lens you only ought to be considering with a full frame (1D, 5D) camera, since that's the only way you'll get the full width of a the 14mm. On a 1.6x crop body, you loose that advantage...and you're paying a lot of money for something you don't need.
All in all, this is a stellar lens. Not for everyone....but for those in the know, this lens is awesome!

Would be helpful if somehoe they could make one with a zoom. Price was a little high as well.
