So, I have found a used 14mm f2.8 and can't decide whether to buy it or pay more for the 16mm f1.4. Resolution wise the 14mm should be quite a bit better than the 16mm, but the f1.4 and close focusing abilities of the 16mm appeals to me. One of the positives that is most often mentioned about the 16mm is its close focusing ability at 15cm, which if you subtract the length of the lens amounts to like 6cm's from the front element. Quite impressive. BUT, the 14mm is supposedly able to close focus at 18cm's, which if you subtract the length of the lens amounts to approx. 12 cm's from the front element. Plus the fact that the lens has a wider view. That is not so bad, right? What are your thoughts on this and would you mind showing some samples of the close focusing abilities of the 14mm? Preferably with people in them. Thanks.
