Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
Fixed focal length lenses generally offer a wider maximum aperture than zoom lenses. From ultra-wide angle lenses ideal for indoor shooting to long telephoto lenses extensively used for wildlife, sports and news photography Canon has the fixed focal length lens to suit you.
The exacting professional’s ultra wide-angle lens, the EF 14mm f/2.8L II USM uses UD and aspherical elements for paramount image quality. A maximum f/2.8 aperture ensures great low light performance.
The ultra wide-angle lens for professionals.
A special perspective Covering a breathtaking 1140 field of view, the EF 14mm f/2.8L II USM goes beyond human perspective. Ideal for capturing small interiors, large subjects at close distances or dramatic landscapes, this highly expressive lens can also be used to create a strong sense of separation between close subjects and background.
L-series construction Like all L-series lenses, the EF 14mm f/2.8L II USM combines precision optics with unsurpassed build quality, reliability and ease of use. Dust and moisture seals offer advanced protection from the elements, even in harsh weather conditions.
Large f/2.8 aperture A maximum aperture of f/2.8 allows for fast, flash-free shooting in low light settings, plus good depth of field control.
Aspherical and UD elements For optimum visual performance, the lens incorporates two types of special elements: aspherical elements to correct spherical aberrations, and Super UD (ultra-low dispersion) elements to eliminate secondary chromatic aberrations. The result is crisp, high contrast and undistorted image quality all the way to the frame peripheries.
Ring USM auto focus with manual override Canon’s ring USM auto focus system employs ultra-sonic frequency vibrations for fast, accurate and virtually silent operation with excellent holding torque. Full-time manual focus override, via a large ring that does not rotate during auto focus, allows photographers to begin fine-tuning a shot instantly.
Super Spectra coating Super Spectra coatings help ensure accurate colour balance and high contrast, and suppress flare and ghosting by absorbing light that might be reflected off internal lens elements and digital EOS sensors.
Circular aperture A circular aperture delivers smooth, even-looking bokeh (background blur) - ideal for isolating subjects at large aperture, or compelling portraiture.
Accessories The EF 14mm f/2.8L II USM features an integrated petal hood to protect the front lens element, improve contrast and prevent vignetting. A lens cap and soft case are supplied.

This lens has exceeded my expectations in every way. I had been using a Canon 17-40 F4 lens previously and whilst it was wide, it doesn't compare to the ultra wide view of this lens.
Pro's
The compact size and weight suits the Canon 5D Mk II very well
It is built to last, it feels like you would expect a top of the range lens to feel
It is sharp from corner to corner
Built in lens hood and cap are designed well for the lens (just remember to protect the lens by putting the cap back on at the end of shooting!)
Con's
Well you can't get away from the price, you get what you pay for - but how many people really need a lens this expensive
Single usage - beyond extreme wide angle shots it can't do much
The case it comes with isn't protective enough (Standard Canon cloth sides)
It's convex lens can't take filters, mean CP filters can't be used
The convex lens can't really be protected by a large hood when walking/moving between locations.
Whilst there are a few niggles with the lens, they are far outweighed by the near perfection in image quality you can achieve with this lens.
For a full frame Canon camera you simply can't improve on this, however it isn't wide enough to use on a crop body, you would be better off with the Canon EF-S 10-22mm.
