Nikon 14-24mm vs Canon 14L

[Published December 2007]

At this point, we’re simply presenting the test results without further comment. These are among the first detailed samples presented of Canon’s latest Mark II 14mm used on the 22MP 1Ds III, and the very first pictures ever shot using Nikon’s 14-24mm f2.8 G on the Canon 1Ds III. The pictures speak for themselves.
