Hoping for some winning lottery tickets here....

Looking forward to this lens.

Is it just me or is this a different image of the lens than what we previously saw? The old rumored one looked a bit fake where the hood met the barrel. This new image looks like the real deal to me.

Why is there only two posts about this rumor btw?

See previous image below. Notice that gap between the lens hood and front end.

Edit - just had a thought - maybe it extends!

i'm in love

 

[bereninga]

Can't wait to see the price and the photos from this beast! I won't be getting one myself since it'll be over my budget, but I'll just appreciate the images it produces.

 

[TommyLee]

I want it...

would love to see a test.....

but I have to assume the edges/corners are...as good as they could do.....
and CA lower than my 14L II....

big question is.
how straight are straight lines....pretty good on 14L II....

11mm can see behind me...almost...

this will be fun on 5D mk IV... which I mainly want for low light...
the 11mm will be fun for walk arounds in downtown...ok...limparounds...

i am on a list

oh crap no filter...
Well, there has to be some disadvantage or it would be too perfect...

Now the wait for reviews and prize information

 

[The Flasher]

Rectilinear?

 

[NancyP]

Yes. Their FE is the 8-15.

Which lenses come with a filter? I never seen one.

You can buy filters for these types of lenses, so....?

Gotta dig harder than that for something to complain about!

It must be insanely good to tempt me. I don´t remember having missed not having a wider lens than 15mm, where the Zeiss is doing a magnificent job and the combined quality and functionality of the 16-35 f4L IS fills in.

Both of these lenses take regular filters, whereas this new one will need a Lee-rig, which I (from experience) leave at home.

But Canon knows that the Nikon 14-24 is the benchmark. That combined with the quality of the latest pro-glass they have released, I´m prepared for a stunning performer and yet another temptation ...

The original comment was about the inability to screw a filter on the front of this lens. This could be expected based on how wide the lens is, but it still means the lens isn't perfect for those of us who want to use grad or CPL filters on a wide angle lens.

So a filter is only good if it screws and doesn't slide like the current Lee filter system made for ultra-ultra wide angle lenses with no thread on the front?

There already exists plenty of filter options for these types of lenses. A filter holder should be out quickly for this specific lens.

Maybe I am just being obtuse, but I don't see the issue here. Plus, there is no use in putting a CPL on any lens wider than 16mm due to the way CPL's work.

 

[keithcooper]

It will be a hefty lens - see this comparison of the 8-15, 14 and 11-24 image -

filters... guess I'll have to continue not using them ;-)

I use CPL on my Zeiss 15mm all the time, because it has a very positive effect on my images. Yes, CPL may have a negative effect on UWA images, for example cloudless blue skies, but if you are conscious of these effects and use it correctly, the filter still has a lot of value. I have never tried CPL on anything wider than 15mm though, so it might be that you pass the next threshold then.

I did somehow forget that it is possible to blend multiple images together to gain a wider CPL effect over the whole frame. I've done that a couple of times. Also there are CPL filters for the Nikon 14-24, so they do exist for the large format filter systems. That's one huge piece of CPL glass though!

I would like to see an option for drop-in filters, for reduced weight and size if anything. I rarely use more than 1 filter at a time anyway.

The A7R can take a lens adapter that has a build in variable ND filter. I wonder if they could make a drop in filter system for it too? That's what a few guys are doing with their 14-24. If Sony could only make an A7 series camera with decent battery life, I would be more interested.

 

[Spectrum]

This lens is giving me G.A.S. I will be selling my 14mm f/2.8L II very soon...

 

[LDS]

wider than 16mm due to the way CPL's work.

CPLs don't work with skies only... nor this lens.

Even 24 mm can be a problem with CPL ... you'll get striped areas across the frame. And with ultrawide lenses, the skies tend to be blue even without a CPL. CPL are most useful between about 28 to 70 mm (FF)
