Considering 14MM 2.8L II Lens Purchase

[Deeohuu]

I'd also wait until you got your full frame. 14mm is equivalent to 8.75mm on a crop. Its extremely wide.

This surprises me. I would have said a little over 22 on a crop.

He meant you would need an 8.75mm lens on an aps-c camera to have the equivalent field of view of a 14mm on full frame. You were talking about the FF equivalent if you put the 14mm on an aps-c camera.

I see. But it is an odd comment. The OP has a 10-20 so he knows what 14 would look like. He didn't ask about a an equivalent to 14 on full frame. No worries.

Thanks. All comments are appreciated as you'll never know when new information may fall into your lap - in my case realizing that a TS lens does not have auto-focus - thanks to that poster!

AF is not a deal breaker, but well, it's kinda nice when you're traveling about and have kids to look after, ect, ect.

I think what so many of us are after is a consensus on the more qualatative concerns of a product such as: "it's my favorite, and never leave home with out it" or "I purchased it thinking it would be really cool, but now never use it." ... or some of the more unexpected - "It blew me away on the 5Dii, but on my T2i, it's really no better than any other old lens because the camera cannot take advantage of the additional expensive glass".
