Rokinon 14mm feedback?

[cassio]

Hi guys! I saw the Rokinon 14mm price is less than a quarter of the Canon equivalent.

Does anyone have this lens?

I'm looking for a budget ultra wide angle lens and I'd like to get some actual hands on feedback.

I don't mind if it's manual focus as long as quality is still good.

Thanks!

I have read many good things about the Samyang/Rokinon 14mm lens.

though Ken doesn't like it: 14mm f/2.8 Samyang, Pro Optic, Rokinon and Bower

I have read several good reviews of it. However, I opted for the Nikkor 10.5 solely due to weight & size issues.

Wow! Thanks for the quick replies! Great discussion on flicker.

I just bought mine on eBay for $295. I'm pretty excited! I've owned the 85mm 1.4 from Rokinon and loved it, the results were absolutely beautiful however I didn't use it enough to warrant me keeping it. I'm hoping this lens performs just as well, and I'll have some fun with it and give it a review sometime.
