This is the mark II edition of this lens and isn't just a minor tweak but represents a complete redesign. It boasts an extra two elements, taking the total number from 11 to 13, and its more rounded aperture is based on eight rather than seven diaphragm blades.

Quality metal construction; Ring-type autofocus; Wide maximum aperture

Disappointing sharpness; Expensive; Vignetting (corner shading) at maximum aperture

Fast, blur background, can take in low light

Easily Interchangeable; Fast / accurate auto-focus; Nice Bokeh

I bought this lens second hand, 2 years old but in excellent condition. I found the focusing to work correctly the majority if the time. I mean majority of the time when you go in and pixel peep at 100%. Large aperture f1.4 lenses will not have 100% accuracy in real life shooting.

When I first picked up photography, I have always wondered on the viability of spending large amounts of money for a fixed focal prime lens such as this. However, having cycled through quite a few Canon lenses and 'L' series lenses ranging from zoom lenses and other primes, I have arrived in front...

Very wide aperture for taking indoor photos without a flash - Paper thin depth of field at F1.4 provides capability to produce dramatic shots while still capturing much of the background to 'tell the story' - Good quality construction - Price range defini

- Focusing speed a tad slow (but not enough to affect me on wedding photography

светосильный, со звенящей резкостью объектив, быстрая фокусировка, отличная картинка, лучший из шириков

Chose this over a 24-70 f/2.8, for weddings and most everything else. Previously have extensively used a 24-105 f/4 (5D series kit lens) and 24-70 f/2.8, and I currently also have a 24mm tilt-shift. I shoot with a 5D Mark IV (full frame).

Canon's newest fixed length L-series lens, the EF 24mm f/1.4L II USM, incorporates the newest in Canon lens technology for spectacular sharpness and impressive performance at all settings.

This lens is absolute gold! I use it every single day for vlogging, filming, and photo shoots! The auto focus is amazing and the clarity is unmatched! I highly recommend this lens! I took it to Honduras for 2 weeks and didn't end up using any other lens.

This lens really works incredibly well in low light, being a wider prime at 24mm, capturing all the scene in landscapes and lifestyle is a breeze, especially when shooting in low light. It is more of a niche focal length, but you know exactly when to use it & its the time it counts.
