Canon 24mm f/1.4 EF L II USM Lens with Case Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm surprised I'm the first to review this item on Amazon. What can I tell you, this is hands down one of the best lenses around. Sharp! Between this lens, my 50mm 1.2L, and the 70-200mm 2.8L USM II IS, and a 100mm Macro, my photography and Video making needs are fulfilled. You can read all the technical info on this lens on the Canon website as well as read the rave reviews about it online. So, I won't get into it. But if you're a serious photographer or a 5D Mk ii/1D Mk iv filmmaker, there's no question you need this lens. I use it for both video and stills on my 5D Mk ii and 7D and have enjoyed the superb image quality and bokeh within its wide angle frame. The 1.4 prime is a must for an independent filmmaker.

Canon's new fast aperture prime lens: the EF 24mm f/1.4L II USM. Replacing the EF 24mm f/1.4L USM, the EF 24mm f/1.4L II USM has been completely redesigned to provide an exacting partner lens to Canon's new EOS digital SLRs, the EOS 50D and EOS 5D Mark II. Featuring a 13-element, 10-group lens, the EF 24mm f/1.4L II USM is designed to achieve the highest standards of image quality. Two high-precision GMo aspheric lenses are employed to correct various forms of aberration such as curvature of field and distortion, with a floating mechanism ensuring crisp corner-to-corner detail throughout the focal range. In addition, two UD lenses reduce the chromatic aberration common in wide-angle lenses. A fast, ultra-large maximum aperture of f/1.4 delivers excellent low-light performance, with the circular aperture offering the potential for creative out-of-focus highlights. A focal length of 24mm and a USM focus motor providing full-time manual focus also make the EF 24mm f/1.4L II USM ideal for situations where a wide-angle, high-performance lens is required. It features a fronth thread to accept 77mm optional filters.
