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!
Pros:For my excellent use for colors and yield, solid construction from L series.
Cons:Nothing.
Opinion:For a certain type of photo in my bag came the 24-70 L f4 (or 16-35 l F4), the 35 L II and the 70-200 L F4. Now, after evaluating which focal use more, I'm trying with 24 L II, 35 LII and 100 L macro. The 35 is irreplaceable. All the time. Returning to the subject of the review, I find the 24th quite another thing compared to the focal 24 of 24-70 or 16-35, more difficult because it does not allow you to zoom but it forces you to think and move, but much better as yield to 24 of 24-70 and better than 24 of 16-35. The aperture 1.4 makes a good blurry and allows shots with little light without having to turn up the ISO. Rendition of the colors and sharpness are at the top, only a slight (light) drop at full aperture at the edges. Even this is still a purchase to be imputed to the monkeys unleashed by The_misfits...;-)))
Opinion:rnCanon not shine in my opinion in the world of wide-angle lenses, menchemeno zoom, but with this 24 / 1.4 L II preceded and surpassed all the competition. For those who appreciate certain qualities, such as selective focus at wide area, the possibility of doing reportage very low ambient light, almost no distortion without the need for corrections in postproduction, a lens so fully satisfies all expectations. The limitations are all too obvious, but when you can admire the files that you can get one forgets willingly weight that was brought to the neck or purse. And when you can shoot at a ceremony without using neither the flash nor ISO 3200, images are obtained with a naturalness and cleaning unreachable for any zoom, even prestigious and bright. Let us remember that even with respect to a bright f 2.8, this lens has a quadruple brightness ... rnrnPubblicata Giallo63 from September 13, 2012

Pros:Crisp and silky, a constant companion
Cons:Maybe a soft pelino to TA, but nothing drastic
Opinion:A unique lens, especially in terms of color profile. Silky and clear as to be frightening - and this is the gift that I love the most - and what differentiates it from the competition (eg. 24 1.4 sigma art that is much more 'granite). Vignette the right and TA performs well, at least my copy does not make me absolutely regret the choice. Paid 1450 euro with the cashback that allowed me - after all - to pay 1250 euro. For me it is a single lens, which I love and that I recommend to all who love uncompromising quality. I use it mainly for environmental portrait and landscape, even if it manages to give the best of themselves in more 'reportage and street situations. So big lens in any situation, a choice that would do it a hundred thousand times.
