It depends on what you used before. Me, never been wider than 18mm before, 14mm is definitly wide-angle. There is a lot to include in the picture and the typical wide angle distortion by prespective is easily visible. In addition, I can completely confirm Klaus findings: this lens is very sharp even wide open and distortion can be corrected without problems on APS-C. This is just a great lens that will stay in my bag pretty much forever until something distinctly better is available for the same price or I can justify paying more for a lens with extended possibilites (e.g. for the 14-24mm, in this case, with AF-S and zoom capability).
