Egg-cellent!

 

I scrutinized the specs and reviews for this lens for months.. then finally jumped and bought one. It's not quite like being 21 again, but awfully close! It is a gorgeous wide, fast lens which makes you think of places where you might not have bothered...

Amazing Lens

 

I bought this lens 1 month ago. I was shooting plenty of portrait and landscape. It works they way i want.

super sharp, well constructed, nicely balanced with 7d

Auto focus fails

 

I have wanted this lens for a long time and finally ordered it. I just received this lens today. I have taken about 100 photos using my 7D using various focus points. Only about one third of these did the auto focus work. It's getting returned.

Great Image Quality but Poor Autofocus

 

I bought this lens as a 35mm equivalent lens on a crop camera. I loved the field of view offered by the lens and obviously the F1.4 aperture.

Awesome lens

 

The copy I receive performed beautifully. Fast focus, Rugged build quality, Sharp images, produces great color and contrast. The price...... very expensive, so either have money to blow or do your research before buying this lens (if its right for...

design flaw

 

Build quality is high as expected for this lens. However the focus is inconsistent and the lens has severe front focus around 1.8. I owned the mark I predecessor and loved it, so when it was stolen I immediately replaced it with this one. Today I am...

bad af

 

AF often missed. Compared it to 85L, it's night and day. *%L of course is magical. AF Often breaks down. More things to say but everytime I submit this review, it doesn't get published. funny how my 85L review got published once I wrote them. This is...

Fantastic lens, if you have the money for it.

 

I am an advanced amateur photographer and professional retoucher who has been developing an appreciation for prime lenses over the past year. I was on the market for either the 35L or the 24L, and ended up going with the latter via the second hand...

fast auto focus, good build quality, very sharp below f/2.5, great image quality

very expensive

Great Lens.... loving it...

 

I went to calibrate AF and it was dead-on... no adjustments necessary. I am getting all the almost unbelievable claims made in advertising. Not using a flash and taking hand held night shots that are clear edge to edge and little flaring. Day shots are...

all as advertised--that is rare, very low flaring..., very flat field on 5d2

walkabout... too close for candid shots, some distortion but correctable, fast memory needed for full 1080p video fps

AF Issues

 

I am using this lens with my 5D Mark II. There are AF issues with the lens out of the box. Probably 80% of my images missed focus. I have the precision screen- so I can see the AF locks at regions that are not correct- even at high contrast regions...

good build quality, superb optics, sharp
