Hi Cotty, I've both used the Sigma 14mm 2.8 and Canon EF 14 2.8L. The Sigma's flare is slightly more an issue than with the EF 14 2.8L but at this F/L flare is likely to be an issue a lot of the time. As far as image quality goes the Canon EF 14 2.8L is noticeably sharper with better contrast when shooting on chrome films. I have not had a chance to compare the two on my EOS 1D or 1Ds bodies as I own neither lens at the moment.
