Gunzorro, how do you rate the image quality from your 14 Samyang (color, contrast, corner sharpness, etc.), and where does one find such a thing? No luck at B&H or Amazon.
Both B&H and Amazon have it. Try the name Rokinon. It's the same lens

splathrop -- There is a Samyang/Rokinon 14/2.8 thread going here in Alt forum, and I've been posting images as I get acquainted with the lens. I only got it yesterday.
In that short time, once I figured how to calculate the focus distance (faulty adjustment on mine), I've gotten some dynamite shots with great sharpness and detail at f/8. I haven't really tried any other apertures besides some at f/2.8 in attempting to determine distances on the focusing, I'm sure it will perform well at all apertures.
I'd rate it an amazing value. It's my third lens from Samyang, (two branded Bell+Howell, 85 and 14, and one Bower, 35), and they have all been winners -- right up there with the better lenses from Canon and, even some Zeiss (maybe consider them Poor Man's Zeiss!). Awkward, being fully manual, but we Alt users are up for that!
Why aren't you looking on eBay? Contact Beach Camera for a really good deal (despite mine needing adjustment, that's not the seller's issue).

Anyone here who thinks it could make sense for someone who owns the Canon 17 TS-E and 24 TS-E to add also the Zeiss 21mm? If so, why? And by the way, does the Zeiss 21mm distortion rule out horizon shots over water?
I've had the TS-E24II for some months.
I traded it for the 21mm zeiss and I have no regrets.
Had big fun with it (it's very creative and has awesome optical quality), but I just prefer the look I get from the Zeiss.

Thanks Jim. If looking carefully you can see the stem going to the left
A very nice shot with great light from you.

It was a fast snapshot (not easy with the ZE 100) at a temple in Kyoto. These three women were the only visitors and as I approached the temple they just crossed the front side of the temple.
