If that's the 14mm f/2.8 rectilinear, it sells for about $1000. Shutterbug had a test report on it some time back that praised it highly and the photos they made with it were impressive (for magazine photos)but knowing how critical you are, perhaps someone else that has actually spent that much for the lens could tell you more. I have never been able to justify spending that much on an ultra-wide, even a rectilinear. We probably have 7 or 8 actual owners/users of this lens here, I'm sure.
