I just received my adapter day before yesterday! I was one of the first to order, but because of a mix up had to wait till now. All I can say is the wait was worth it many times over! We are so lucky that Mark has devoted so much time to testing the 14-24G and making the adapter. His efforts will add to our ability to produce amazing images.
I bought two 14-24's to test them, one was spectacular the other just good, so Nikon has the same quality control issues that Canon has. I finished my first job with it today shooting interiors at f11 with a 1dsmk3. The results are better than any other lens I have. I use Canon L lenses, Zeiss and Pentax for my Zork adapter I will post some samples this week. Have patience waiting for the adapter. I can't tell you how great it is to finally have a wide angle that is this sharp for the MK3 and on top of that I can now buy a Nikon D3 or D4. This will be invaluable as the price war's heat up between Nikon and Canon.

Congrats on being one of the few with the adapter. I don't think you can make such a claim about Nikon QC with this lens based on your two lens experience. Everybody else I've heard from, and myself, have received spectacular results with our lenses. The same can't be said for any of the Canon SWA's, be it a fixed focal length or zoom.
If you would post pics of your results with the "good" and "spectacular" copies, we could see if ours measure up

It's just my luck to get the only not so good 14-24 lens on the planet! At least the new lens will be up to all the great ones I have seen posted here, especially yours.
