Looking at current UK prices, the Canon is 6x the cost of the Samyang. It's better, but that is a tough value trade off. It's not a focal length I'm too interested in right now, but I think the distortion of the Samyang would be a deal breaker, and the price of the Canon likewise. Then again, unless I go FF again it isn't something I have to think about <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

If I want wide angle distortion, I already have the 8mm fisheye <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
