Photorex said:last Weekend I went to my camera dealer here in Germany who organizes a little trade fair two times a year. At his mini trade fair some represantatives from Canon, Nikon, Hasselblad, Fuji, Sigma, Tamron, Manfrotto,... are present.
I asked the Sigma represantative if he knows something about availability and price.
He also could not say when the 14mm f1.8 lens will be available.

tron said:So it seems they announced it in advance merely to stop people from getting the Samyang 14mm 2.4 which is a real lens today!
Photorex said:Yes. This is the dealer I meant.
NancyP said:Samyang 14 f/2.8 is pretty decent except for the godawful mustache distortion, which is less of an issue for landscape/astro than for architectural photography. (assuming that you got a centered copy). I would be tempted by the Sigma 14 f/1.8 if it has simpler distortion and low coma.
