I expect you clicked 'buy' on both of these the instant they became available.
Haha, actually just the 14. I sold my fish zoom earlier, and acquired a used 15 fish due to its speed & size for night stuff. The last time I used a fish was in 2019 so it felt superfluous even for my habits

Yeah, I read your post about the 15. I figured you'd want the RF instead because it will hold up to modern high resolution sensors better than a design pushing 40 years from the dawn of the EOS system.

Are you trying to get me to spend money?
It's always fun to spend someone else's money.
That said, the DPR zoom fisheye images didn't inspire... central image area in some looked soft. Not sure if there was a focusing problem. Their 14/1.4 images also are mostly 'meh' but at least from a few of them, it looks like this lens will be sharp across the frame. The MTF performance suggests this is the case.

If it's as good as the Sigma, I'll take it - half the size & weight is worth it to me.

I emailed my sales rep last night to put me down on the 14 and he responded he figured he would get a message from me. Like Stan I opted not to go for the 7-14. I have the old 15 FE and the 8-15, Use the 15 occasionally can't remember the last time I used the 8-15 except when I test mounted it on the GFX.
