From the Manufacturer
This ultra-wide-angle lens has the shortest focal length in the L-series. Element 2 is an Aspherical lens to correct distortion. Other aberrations such as astigmatism are also corrected, resulting in ideal image quality. The lens has a fixed, petal-type hood and a gelatin filter holder at the rear.

This is a true rectilinear ultra-wide-angle lens that’s absolutely corrected for linear distortion--straight lines remain straight. It’s outstanding for shooting in confined areas and interiors, and is often used by professionals because of the unique "look" its extreme wide angle perspective provides. The optics are superb, highlighted by a ground and polished aspherical element. It has a gel filter holder in the rear that allows up to three gel filters to be used for color correction.

Wide and Fast
If you need an ultra-wide angle and a large aperture, one of the following lenses will fit the bill. Ultra-wide-angle lenses can capture scenes beyond your natural field of vision. The EF 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye, the widest of them all, has a 180° angle of view. For more normal-looking wide-angle shots, there are longer wide-angle lenses up to 35mm with the maximum aperture you need.

Customer Reviews

updated 14mm EF lens available
This lens has been replaced by updated new EF 14mm f/2.8L II USM which offers better distortion control and higher contrast. Improvement is worthwhile.

Canon 14mm F/2.8
this lens is one of my favorite it is great for landscapes but at the same time the autofocus is fast enough for me to be able to capture moving items as well. i have heard in other reports that the CA(chromatic aberation) can be seen around the edges of the image when using this lens but in thousands of images i have only noticed it a very few times.
