Hello Wim,
So what about the Nikon 14mm? It is not small or light. Or the Samyang 14mm, which just got a brilliant review in Chasseur d'Images! 389€ of excellence, but for the AF, but I guess it's hyperfocal at f11. And anyways, landscapes and buildings tend to not move so fast. <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='B)' /> You say that you have switched to the 17mm yourself <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='B)' /> ?? I know the 14-24 is an outstanding lens, maybe best in class, bar none, but it is so big and heavy! I guess the fact the 14mm costs just as much as the zoom is a factor to reckon with if you choose Nikon <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> , but the Samyang has to be an interesting alternative!! Check the results of the test with DXO in the May issue of Chasseur d'Images.

I also saw good review on the Samyang 14mm here with the 5D mark II. But the distortion is serious and hard to correct.
