Canon EF 24mm f/1.4 L USM Lens

 

The Canon EF 24mm f/1.4 L USM Lens has been replaced by the Canon EF 24mm f/1.4 L II USM Lens in Canon's lineup. The 24 L II features much better wide open image quality, less CA throughout the aperture range and weather sealing

Ring USM (Ultrasonic Motor) also provides for FTM (Full-Time Manual) focusing. The Canon EF 24mm f/1.4 L USM Lens focuses quietly and quickly.

Canon EF 24mm f/1.4L II USM Review

 

The Canon 24mm ƒ/1.4L II USM is an excellent lens, with only two reservations, both relating to the lens' usage on full-frame bodies. The first is some corner softness when used at wide apertures;

Canon EF 24mm f/1.4L II USM review

 

A wide angle of view and a super-wide aperture make this Canon tempting

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

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

Sharpness is unimpressive at the centre and disappointing towards the edges and corners. We'd expect better at this price. This lens's sharpness is unimpressive at the centre and disappointing towards the edges and corners. We'd expect better at this...

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

 

Gary Wolstenholme reviews the premium fast wide-angle Canon EF 24mm f/1.4L II USM lens.

Excellent optical performance; Build quality; Fast focusing; Bright maximum aperture; Resistance to flare and loss of contrast

Quality towards the edges at maximum aperture could be better (although this is a minor concern for a wide aperture lens like this)
