Pros: Sharpness already at 1.4, brightness, materials used, color

Cons: None in my opinion

Opinion: Very good bright and sharp optics. I use it for portraits set at full aperture and for me it is perfect. You can isolate the subject even if it is a wide-angle lens. I use it with an R6 and I can tell you that the focus is very responsive, plus the R6 corrects any defects directly in the cameras by recognizing the model of the lens. The construction materials are excellent and it is very solid. I recommend it again in 2025.

Pros: Very sharp already at 1.4, af, weight

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: I was looking for a bright wide angle. I couldn't take better, you make passes, day by night, you do portraits set at 1.4 and it's pure magic. It is very sharp at TA, L is fast, it is all in all small and light for a 1.4, the final wide angle. In my opinion it envies many goals just released. Highly recommended

Pros: Typical construction of Canon marked in red, sharpness, "magic" vignetting

Cons: basically none if you know what you buy

Opinion: I bought this lens almost on a whim and fell in love with it. You do everything, from architecture to portraits: The TA vignetting is present and clearly visible, just 1 click of Lr or any photo editing program to solve it, which gradually disappears when you close the diaphragm. Often in my shots I leave it, it is so beautiful that in my opinion from a "plus" to the image, especially if there are people framed. Of course, you do not make close-ups but just have a little care and everything goes in its place. Super bright are a drug, there is no talk. I honestly have not yet found defects, I like it a lot and I often mount it on both 1Ds3 and 1Dx: my dinosaurs to which I am definitely fond that despite the advent of ML give me so much satisfaction but this is another matter.

Pros: Canon rendition, good quality at f 5.6

Cons: Really low sharpness given the price at TA, AC visible, vignetting of-3 EV to TA

Opinion: I am not a big fan of the 24mm, but I must say that this for me has flunked completely. For F 1.4 accustomed to "modern" lenses, the sharpness is missing, both in the center and at the edges. Closing to F4 will reach a "normal" sharpness. Let's add that the flare and the chromatic aberrations are evident, the vignetting at F 1.4 is 3 stops, and that the bokeh has some onion ring... These problems on a lens from 13 lenses in 10 groups are inadmissible. For me it would suffice the embarrassing sharpness to F 1.4 not to buy it. It makes no sense to buy a lens with this aperture, and then have to close to f2.8 to make "acceptable" photos. In conclusion is a lens that makes the "Canon rendition" The only reason to be purchased.

Pros: Construction, color rendering, distortion contained, opening

Cons: Vignetting very present but easily retrievable, softness (not excessive) to TA Flare but only in particularly difficult conditions

Opinion: It is a vision that should be used but once you have the hand, you just have to enjoy it all. Excellent color rendition, saturated the right and faithful. The sharpness from F/2 onwards is great while opening up more could be a bit soft. In the city night brings out the best of itself and allows great shots without exaggerating with ISO and exposure times. The weight of many may be "important" but I think it is perfect. I use this lens with a Canon 1DX enjoying an excellent balancing. For the rest I add only that once mounted will be difficult to remove!
