Tamron SP Autofocus 14mm f/2.8 Aspherical (IF) Rectilinear Lens for Canon SLR Cameras

The optical system of the new SP AF14mm F/2.8 Aspherical (IF) lens, composed of 14 elements in 12 groups, includes two Hybrid Aspherical lens elements. These large Hybrid Aspheric elements efficiently compensate for aberrations thus achieving flat-field image depiction from corner to corner. With a fast F/2.8 aperture and a sophisticated optical system, photographers can create dynamic photographs that take full advantage of the rectangular characteristics of the lens.

Customer Review: One of the Best Wide Angles you can get!
I got mine after a friend had gotten one for her EOS3. I love it. U have used it a lot on my film and Dig bodies. The quality and sharpness are great! Also a lot of fun to do close up work, as the distortion then is fun, esp on full frame cameras like the Canon 5d. This lens blows anything from sigma out of the water by a long shot! I compared it to the Canon model at almost twice the price, and the canon might focus a tad faster, but image wise both looked about the same! This lens ROCKS! Its a great lens for anyone wanting a WIDE angle lens. I love my Canon 17-40 F4 L series (found it sharper than the 16-35) but there are time you want wider, and then the 14mm is perfect!
