Pros: worth all money it costs.

Cons: Nothing

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.

Pros: Exceptional sharpness already at 1.4, Aperture, contrast, correction of aberrations and distortions, Toughness, Construction, Tropicalization, Defocused, color shades, Vignette beautiful, Af (you name it!)

Cons: Price, Weight (however justified both), Create strong dependence ...

Opinion: This lens has replaced my trusty 28mm 1.8 USM, a lens underestimated and understood by few on this forum, excellent lens and my faithful companion for the past 3 anni.rnAvevo need something more and found a 24 L second serious virtually conditions indistinguishable from the new: of course I did not have let slip: is my third series L, my first hard this prestigious serie.rnLa lens in question is beyond my wildest expectations: so far the best Canon lens, and certainly the best of the My corredo.rnLa construction is taken care of, but solid (the goal really weighs) and is almost as big as my 16-35 (1 series), also mount the same filters as 77mm.rnL'AF is very fast, both of 5D2 that of 6D and engages fast and preciso.rnLa thing that shocked me is the impressive sharpness of the lens, which already at 1.4 is impeccable: closing improves increasingly maintaining a lofty fine detail and giving the edge to TA an artistic vignettattura that personalemente strikes me molto.rnThe blurry is dry and over-corrected, other than the most irregular and artistic 28.rnLa the blur correction and vignettattura give to photos taken with this lens a UNICO.rnAprendo character pictures to PC and looking at them well, there is a practically absent distortion and AC nulle.rnLa lens cleaning done: the photos that churns are perfette.rnReportage in low light, wedding photojournalism and its fields of excellence: Canon really has churned out a gioiello.rnPer to understand the level of this lens, i can safely confirm that the good 24-70 2.8 (professional lens of high level), remotely approaching the yield of this fixed, and as a distortion, blur, quality, color and corrections are on another pianeta.rnCredo that the square there is a 24 similar even in the house Nikon or Zeiss: really the TOP! rnrnrn

Pros: construction, sharpness (from f/2), colors

Cons: the initial price but today (2019) much decreased

Opinion: big lens, very expensive (in my opinion) but big lens. Not too heavy, fast autofocus, very usable at TA but good sharpness is from f/2, distortion virtually absent (compared to the 24mm of the most popular zooms). Total feeling from the first shots. Quality of shots and typically Canon. I use it a lot, more than I thought before I bought it, to recommend despite the price. Sold once, I still don't know why, and bought back recently. However, I do not think that many people can use this lens frequently, so I would not recommend it at all given the exorbitant cost. The 24 is a "strange" focal point and if you expect the spectacular blurring of other superbright, you risk being disappointed. The possibility of boredom is around the corner. The cost, especially in the used, has fallen a lot.

Pros: Construction, sharpness, autofocus

Cons: Vignette, Coma

Opinion: A lens really well done, very clear in general and also be used to TA, it looks like a tank, has fast and precise autofocus and typical of the modern conception of pro lenses, I find it very "dry" and over-corrected. But unfortunately TA sticker in a colossal, for me I use it mainly for street this however is part of his stamp and I appreciate it, while for landscape use this is not a problem, Since it is difficult to use so open it to me ... would have expected more correct in a coma level, I do not see it very well at RT for night photography with stars, but it is a more or less intrusive duty of superbright Recommended

Cons: nobody

Opinion: Once you try it is difficult to do without it! perspective is used throughout, to portraits, to landscapes for details .... honestly quite perfect. Excellent sharpness of apertures and not. rnrnè one of the optical I use most of the kit with the 50mm 1.2 is a great combo of work with two rooms.

Pros: construction; colors; reliability

Cons: not having it

Opinion: I bought this lens for about six months. It used a virtually new. Only he was missing to complete the park fixed lenses until 135.rnDa when I use it I can not help it much to set aside 35.rnNitido already at 1.4; 2.0 is impressive enough to make us the majority of the shots in various situations in the photography of matrimobnio: house church and esterni.rnBellissimo, I recommend it to all those who can buy it.

Pros: aperture, weather sealing, construction, speed AF, corrections

Cons: price, weight

Opinion: Maybe now that I sold it is time to leave a review as it should be for the lens that has heavily influenced my way of photographing and taught to get more in the scene (both psychologically and physically) rnL'ho purchased without absolutely no idea what I was getting, a wide angle, ok, with 17-4 shot it mostly to those focal and its luminosity that would allow me to use more low ISO during my reportage.rnDopo a slow start, in which I did not understand these hidden potentials, he upset the lives in USA 2012 (invite the curious to this lens to give a look to my gallery to get an idea of ??what you can do with a wide angle outside the landscape) rnStacco plans light but this , exaggerated performance already at full aperture and three-dimensional exaggerated even more diaphragms chiusi.rnCostruzione tropicalization excellent and they made it come right in equipment for situations critiche.rnPeso a bit too much for my taste and take it for a walk is not the What is most fun Isprerimentato in recent years, but after all the quality and performance are not gratuite.rnIn line price, for a lens professionale.rnrnL'ho sold reluctantly, and Coucillor forever as THE lens for reportage and cityscape.

Pros: one and only. worth all money it costs.

Cons: costs for what it is and is not very accessible for the cost. E 'useless for those clicks only landscapes to f5.6 / f8.

Opinion: for me, photography and 'play with light and this is the wide angle perfect: bright and sharp even at 1.4, off the subject that seems out of the frame. Fantastic! But just because you have to get the hang of using it bright at RT. Perhaps this and 'why many believe that the money to buy it not worth the expense. But no. 1.8 and up 'almost perfect. Even for a fotocazzeggiatore like me who prefer to use the photos as they come out of the car without retouching in post-production. Well, perhaps if you love this post production ob is useless.

Pros: High resolution at the center also 1.4, 2.8 high resolution and excellent from f4 onwards over the entire field, distortion correction exemplary little AC. Beautiful colors. Macro and micro-contrast at the top. Mechanical construction at the level of absolute perfection.

Cons: Resolution at the edges to 1.4 not excellent, vignetting 1.4 exaggerated, too blurry "neutral" (say "modern", for me it is a counter for others it may be a pro), autofocus is not always precise. High price but lower than the colleague Nikon.

Opinion: Excellent optical field can give great satisfaction. Only real drawback is the vignetting 1.4. For the rest, nothing to complain, except my little attitude towards blurred optic products with overcorrection of spherical aberration, but here you go to personal tastes. As mentioned mechanically perfect, and I noticed some mistakes autofocus (but fast) rn

Pros: 1.4 aperture, sharpness (including TA), minimal distortion, beautifully rendered colors, solid construction.

Cons: the price a little 'high.

Opinion: I'm in love with this focal right here on the forum-Juza, I use it with my 6D is a great fixed lens like all Canon L series, the optical and mechanical design impeccable. I do not know what I could say more, there are already some great reviews posted here is a view from the kit as not to miss if you love to use this focal length and fixed lenses.

Cons: Some say the "price", actually ... rnma according Me is worth every penny speso.rnrnCrea Addiction!

Opinion: In my short experience of photo-lover so I had to try a few different obiettivi.rnProbabilmente like this EF 24mm f/1.4 L II USM have been able to impress me from the first scatto.rnè the lens that I personally use most and that I currently one of the best rnper quality rendered image.

Pros: Sharp even wide open (even at the edges), blurred beautiful, beautiful vignette that gives a unique look to your photos, fast and accurate AF, colors (wonderful) (my copy has serial Zxxxxx)

Cons: A bit heavy but well balanced, big lens hood (never used so far seems good to resist flares), it costs a little

Opinion: Bought after 2.8 years of 24, I was amazed by his performance, much better than I thought ... species at f1.4 sharp scary! rn "24 must have" ok it's a bit ingrombrante compared to younger brother .... rnabbinato 2.8 50 1.2 135f2 and creates the "hat-trick of dreams" rnrnATTENZIONE: the lenses of this type create dipendenzarnrn

Cons: Nothing. I did not find any defect

Opinion: I was pretty sure of what I was going to buy, but I had no idea such a result. I use both with 5d 7d with that.

Pros: Lightweight, great sharpness, colors, waterproof, fast focus, barrel shape with a beautiful, blurred, suitable for street, reportage, landscapes, addictive!

Cons: Cartoon a lot from 1.4 up to 2.0 a slight, very slight flare but pleasant landscapes from f11 to f22 sharpness decade much

Pros: lightweight, compact and crystal clear view ... really excellent ... great travel companion for street and reportage city or landscapes ...

Cons: There are two flaws, one of which is important and one not. 1) vignetting marked but easily correctable but I always leave ..... 2) inability to be used with infrared filters as the antireflection coatings create significant disturbances in conversions ...

Opinion: is a great fixed lens ... does not pull the edges, Nidito until the last pixel of the external part is that the corners to lati.Leggerissimo, discreet if we consider that it is a f / 1.4 and excellent solid construction and pleasant to the touch ... as then all the L series of Canon.rnE 'perspective as not to miss in your backpack if you love to use fixed lenses ... when combined with the 50mm and the 85mm kit complete a dream

Pros: Brightness, sharpness, construction.

Cons: No.

Opinion: I bought this lens mainly to take pictures of the Milky Way, but it would be a shame to limit its use only to the sky notturno.rnSi is an excellent lens that produces razor-sharp clarity to the edges from f2.8, but you can safely use already by f1.8, while the maximum opening is a bit 'soft. RNA part of the photo to the night sky is a multi-purpose lens that can be used in any low light conditions without flash and freehand. The blur is great in contrast to the great sharpness of the lens and the excellent precision autofocus. rn

Pros: From the great sharpness, especially if rapoortata the type of lens and the opening is a lens that can be appreciated for the very blurry and extreme strength, which clearly shows off at every opportunity. Almost no distortion and great color rendition.

Cons: The price is a bit 'high but for a professional is a must ...

Opinion: Had already recommended a lens on the Canon 5D MK II. Now that the use of 5D MK III, I can feel it a real must, a lens to always carry and use in many occasions. And if it is true - in part - that the weight is a bit 'high, it is also true that I saw him take home perhaps unequaled performances to date.

Pros: Sharpness at room temperature high in relation to the focal length and the opening - pleasantness of fuzzy - containment of distortion - color rendering

Cons: weight - size - price (but it's part of the game)

Opinion: Canon does not shine in my opinion, in view of the wide-angle lenses, menchemeno zoom, but with this 24/1.4 L II preceded and surpassed all the competition. To those who appreciate certain qualities, such as selective focus within the lens, the ability to report very low light environment, almost no distortion without the need for adjustments in post-production, a lens that fully satisfies all expectations.

Opinion: was a bit 'of time that I flashed the idea to buy it on the 5DII I can give me immagimi spectacular at f1.4 with deadlifts plans almost 3D and with a focus that seems to be "artistic" on 7d me becomes a normal f1. 4 and also gives good images used on APSC. the only real drawback, as he said Luigino Framarini is not it!

Pros: Built well, is comfortably in the hand, secure, solid, sharp, great for all occasions.

Cons: Maybe the price, but for quality you can deal with the purchase.

Opinion: I use it for a long time every time and allows me to leave the flash at home: do not use it, in fact, since I have this goal. Not to dwell, there are many qualities, I'm just saying the only flaw is NOT HAVE IT! Really fantastic: I use it as a normal, is always mounted in the car. In low light, even indoors, making it a wonder (with the help of the full frame and 21 Mpixel) Luigi aka "diaphragm"

Pros: Construction, Aperture 1.4, Grade 'image, colors

Cons: A little 'soft 1.4, expensive, big almost like the 24/105

Opinion: If you need a lens that allows you to shoot in the city 'or elsewhere at night and take pictures without a tripod you found it. The 24mm II provides an excellent field of view to landscapes, interiors, architecture, in short, a true wide angle, without being too forced, and not to appear all lowercase if one gets lost in the picture, such as those made 12 or 17mm where c ' and 'all of nothing, so to speak. Let's say between wide angle and 'what I prefer to balance. This is why many zoom lenses that start at 24mm. (Or 15 in the case of APS / C) A diaphragm more 'closed (from 2.8 up) the lens has an incredible sharpness from the center to the edge, so as to match the titled Zeiss 21mm or fellow snack TS- E 24mm (at f4). Therefore, you have the advantage of these wonderful goals with the "plus" to be able to open at 1.4, where despite the angle of view, you can still find creative effects data from a good bokeh. I often use the plane for photos at night or low light conditions, or in all cases where it is not possible to assemble a stable support such as a tripod. APS-C is a 39mm, so it can 'be close to a 35mm lens, so as to turn street for any portraits ambientati. The 1, 4 compensates for the greater depth 'of field data from the APS / C, just like using a 38mm f2, 8 in FF, so I'd say a good compromise. Even better the performance on APS-H where it becomes a beautiful 31mm f2, 0 (the effect PDC)
