Great choice for extra wide angles

Re: Great choice for extra wide angles

I am sure that it is a great lens. While I am a fan of Canon L lenses, it is hard to justify paying 2.5x the price of Samyangs excellent 14mm f2.4 XP (NOT the cheap Samyang/Rokinon 14mm f2.8 lenses) for it though. It is slightly smaller and lighter than the Samyang XP (and a LOT smaller and lighter than the Sigma 14mm f1.8 Art) but the difference is not huge.

Obviously this Canon is AF vs the MF of the Samyang XP, but at 14mm AF is far less crucial than at longer focal lengths (due to the massive DoF at 14mm on FF), and obviously not used for astro (which is a common use case for these UWA lenses).

What is the coma like with stars on this Canon ?
