Worth it!
Just got it today and it's fabulous! It opens up new ways to shoot wide!Update; this lens is the best lens I've ever owned. Shooting wide at14 mm opens up new looks on my photos. And it's sharp with rectilinear lines all the way through just like everyone says.It's pretty heavy but not cumbersome like the 70 to 200 mm. The build quality is great like everyone says, there's not much original that I can say except that it is a superlative lens and if I were starting over again I would start with this wide angle lens rather than the 24 to 70 mm, then I would go to the 24 to 70 and the 70 to 200 mm but I went 24 to 70 mm then onto the 70 to 200 mm. I just think this wide lens is much more versatile than the other two in the unique look you can achieve photographically and I absolutely love it
