A 14mm f/2.8 could be nice as a not-too-large ultra-wide though I would prefer something smaller because otherwise I could just use my 16-35/4. I have resisted getting the cheapie 18mm f/5.6 due to so-so IQ and the limitations of a fixed aperture and I think the money would be spent better elsewhere. I will be on the lookout for reviews.
 
I have a good copy of the Sigma 16-28mm F2.8, but I can understand this is interesting for some
 
To be honest, 14/2.8 almost repeats Nisi 15/4, except for the aperture, which I don't need.

Maybe the new Laowa 12mm/2.8 on L mount (only manual focus) , weights 377gr ?


Pros:​

  • Smaller, lighter, and cheaper than the lens it replaces
  • Love Laowa’s new design language
  • An extremely wide angle of view + large maximum aperture
  • Good autofocus performance for both stills and video
  • Low distortion
  • Weather sealing gasket
  • Stable video autofocus
  • Ability to use traditional filters
  • Mostly good flare resistance
  • Great looking sunstars
  • Good center sharpness at wide apertures
  • Gets pretty sharp across the frame when stopped down

Cons:​

  • No in camera corrections?
  • Heavy vignette
  • Real world corners somewhat soft
The review is for AF lens on Z mount (I haven’t found yet a review for L mount):
