I’m very interested in this lens, I have been delaying forever the purchase of a UWA lens and this lens seems to be what I need. I’m only worried about one thing: how to correct distortion when the sea or buildings are in the picture? Do you have any easy recipe to correct it? I have Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 4.
Thanks a lot!

Coincidentally, I just ordered the 14mm from B&H, should be waiting for me when I get home tonight. Definitely looking forward to giving it a work-out.

My impressions so far: The Rokinon 14mm is fantastic on full frame, truly the poor man’s 14-24mm substitute with no practical penalties, except lack of AF and about 10% less resolution.
Small and well balanced on my D800E, huge and heavy on the X-E1.
If weight and size isn’t an issue, I really like the 11-16mm Tokina, I have it in Nikon mount and use it regularly on my Sony FS100 and I have tried it on the Fuji.
It produces great results with very little distortion (much less distortion then the Rokinon 14mm) hope this helps.

Have you tried this lens on your X-E1. I know it would only yield 21mm 35mm equiv., but it would be intersting — as the Fuji 14mm is much more.

Thx, John
