Purchased this lens as I missed not having a real wide angle for my digital SLR.
Have since purchased Nikons AFD 16mm f2.8 fisheye and the 14mm has stayed at home since :-(

This is my second AF 50mm f1.8 lens {Japan made N version)
I purchased the first AF version with the narrow focusing ring and regrettably I sold it along with a F501 to a friend.
"He still uses this lens today and believes it to be the sharpest he has."

I purchased Nikons AFD 14mm as I wanted something wide for my S1 and S2pro cameras.
I wish I had waited because shortly after I managed to pick up this lens from a dealer in North Wales.
Since then I haven't used the 14mm, this little gem is smaller,lighter and gives a wider angle of view for less than half the cost.
You can correct any curvature in PS if needed.
Used on my 35mm film cameras and I can create ultra-wide images with distortion if and when required.
