EOS-1D X & EOS 5D Mark III Replacements in 2015 [CR1]

Yepp, the samyang 14mm lens is a hell of a lens for the price. Sharp and nice build. Just the barreldistortion is really strong. So don't try to make architectural pictures with it, at least no on film

I guess I could try and fix it in post... but I just bought a 17-40 today for a song... I may wind up reselling it... but certainly if I keep it, the difference between 14 and 17 may be significant, but not to me.

The difference between a 14mm and 17mm is huge, don't underestimate this. Fixing the distortion in post is of course possible, but As I told, I'm working with film, so the lens has to be good, not lightroom

You bought it for a song because the 16-35/f4L IS has pretty much made it obsolete - especially for FF. It is now quite clearly a second rate lens when compared with its newer cousin.

I'm aware, but I'm not a wide angle guy... and if you can find me a 16-35 f4L for five hundy, I'll jump all over that.
