Since I did not know those models, I expected a much more

price [EUR]
Canon EF 2.8/14mm L USM (2508A003) 1750
Nikon AF 2.8/14mm D ED (JAA130DA) 1805
Pentax smc DA 2.8/14mm (21510) 630
Sigma AF 2.8/14mm EX Asp HSM RF 635
Tamron SP AF 2.8/14mm 2.8 Asp IF 1245
Put the Pentax lens on a full frame camera and the reason for the
pricing
disparity will become obvious.
I have no need for this lens to cover 24x36mm.
A 20mm lens for that format does the job I want to do just fine.
Why should I pay the difference in price for something I don't need
or want?
