Best/cheapest alternative to Canon EF 14mm f/2.8 II USM

[JackAce]

I want to get one of those but can not find a second hand one here in Thailand, and don't want to spend about 2,5K for one, so I'm looking for the best alternative.
Sharpness is my biggest concern, not AF speed..

I have seen nice images from a 6D with a Samyang 14mm f/2.8. It is a complete manual lens however but for $350 it is on my list to try out. If you don't mind manual focus and aperture settings then it might be worth looking at.

That looks very sharp, I'm getting one of those next time I'm in Bangkok thanks for the links!
