I picked up the Rokinon 14 f/2.8 UMC for astro and UWA (before I had the EF 16-35 f/4 IS). I would recommend buying two copies from someone with a good return policy. I and a friend have now both done this. In both instances, one was incredibly sharp and the other, very poor. Great lens when you get a good one (significant distortion, but sharp optics). Very poor quality control by Rokinon. At least two years ago. I am waiting to see more about the Samyang "XP" 14 mm that was recently announced.

Yeah....the list gets long. I started in 2010 and have infused some cash every year. Amazing how quickly that amasses into something significant.

All I can say is make sure they are insured. Mine are on a rider to my home owners insurance.
