Why no L primes from 14 to 24mm

[Jesse]

Again, the Zeiss 21mm. One of the best wide angle lenses available.

+1 on the 18/21 Zeiss'
I think TDP is a bit harsh on his review of the 18. I have seen it reviewed elsewhere (Germany) and it's given the edge to the 16-35. Either way, both are out of my budget!

 

[Viggo]

I say if a 20mm is useful or not depends HIGHLY on the aperture it has, if it was as great as the 24 f1,4 LII at 20mm maybe a 1,8, I would buy that today...

 

[Viggo]

IF the 14-24 comes, it will be more in the price range of the 24-70 mk2, not the 16-35 mk2..

 

[Axilrod]

Also the 15mm Zeiss..

Which is an amazing lens, but significantly more expensive than every other lens mentioned in this thread.

 

[Standard]

Zeiss 21mm

+1

Although I have never used it. The Zeiss 21mm is a stellar lens from everything I've read and seen. And yes, I would highly recommend the Samyang 14mm and don't consider the moustache distortion an issue as it's easily fixed in post.

True. Which is why I said people may be happy to pay same as 16-35 mk II or a little more , but no doubt it would be $2,399 price territory (and people will whine a lot about it and Canon Inc., then they'll go and purchase it...then 3 months later they'll rave about it -> even better than the Nikon equivalent...then they'll speculate about what other new lens that Canon ought to have in the new product pipeline so they can complain about how long it takes Canon to update & launch new lenses ???...then once it is announced they can commence whingeing again...and so on et cetera ad nauseam.....

Amen! LOL
