They're both very good lenses. I prefer the wider field of view of the DA14 and find it superior due to equal sharpness, the wider angle of view and better correction. But you can judge whether it might be suitable for you from my informal test examples:

  http://homepage.mac.com/godders/14mm-examples/

As the page says, "These photos are presented with near-default RAW conversion parameters direct to [EMAIL PROTECTED] JPEG, sRGB files. No sharpening or other adjustments have been applied." You can click on the IMGP2227 file in the list at the bottom and play with a RAW file if you so desire (DNG format only). f/4.5-f/5.6 is where the lens hits its optimum performance, although it's quite satisfactory even wide open, imo.

You both may be right... perhaps the two are almost equally sharp, with
the prime having better rectilinear correction (???)
