What this lens is good for
Landscapes and architecture
A 14-28mm full-frame equivalent at constant f/2.8, this is a professional ultra-wide for sweeping landscapes, interiors, and architecture. It stays sharp into the corners wide open and is weather sealed for demanding outdoor conditions. The one limitation is the bulbous front element, which rules out standard screw-in filters.
Astrophotography
The wide field and constant f/2.8 aperture take in a large area of sky, and the optical quality keeps stars clean across the frame. Weather sealing helps on cold, damp nights. The lack of front filter threads is less of an issue for astro, where filters are rarely used. Full guide →
