I highly recommend this lens to those galaxy/aurora lovers, it’s portable, excellent corner-to-corner sharpness, very good coma control, large aperture and reasonable price.
The downside is the lateral CA and the veiling against bright light. The starburst really depends on one’s taste(6 diaphragm blades)

damn, says the waiting list is full. i was just looking at this earlier today, don’t know how i missed the sale.
Crap! Woke up too late. -_____- I’ve wanted this lens for a while now, too. :p Would’ve been great for the meteor shower in a week and a half…
They sold out in less than a minute. Unbelievable.
what was the price? I have one I’d sell mine
$269. why would you sell yours?
bought it for my A6000 to shoot some architecture. didn’t care for the A6000 at all and sold it. So now I have this lens and others. Was thinking I may wait for the A7000 but tired of waiting. you interested?
I’m interested
Hey Tony, I’m whenslydale at the whacky crazy achoo web address. shoot me an email and hopefully we can help each other out.
They should at least make a version with eletronics, at least it could employ the IBIS on the A7 series automatically.
And would be even better if it activates the focus magnification by turning the focus ring, like the Loxias.
you don’t really need electronics to focus a `12mm lens. if they do make an electronic version be prepared to pay 4x the price. this is a great lens if you have a use for it
The difference between the Canon and nikon version of the 14mm is $30. Didn’t ask for AF, just electronics for exif, focus aid and auto-IBIS like the Loxias.
The chip would cost you a bit more. But it is convenient.
A Canon 14mm f2.8 is um $2100. This is around $300.
