| only two things that I can complain | 2010-08-28 | 5 / 5 |
| You have seen all the good things about this lens
For me, i wish canon can address the follow issues
1) The build looks a little bit plastic/ not as weather sealing as I want it to be
2) at f1.4, do not shoot white/contrasted areas too much; you will be surprised at how many purple colors you get
other than those, i love this lens very much |
| Just get it | 2010-07-13 | 5 / 5 |
| | I LOVE this lens. Color, sharpness and bokeh are close to perfect as you can get. It can practically see in the dark. If you're looking at buying a 35mm lens, and you can afford the 1.4L, this is the lens to get. My favorite lens, hands down. |
| Even More Useable Than I Hoped | 2010-05-07 | 5 / 5 |
| I agonized for months about this lens. It is no second thought purchase at the price. I knew I liked it since I had used a friends, but I wasn't sure how much it would be on my camera since it is a prime and i shoot in a variety of situations. It was for that reason that I was hesitating spending the money on this rather than a more "responsible" lens that had more versatility.
When I put this lens on my camera all my fears melted away. This has become my primary lens and it rarely leaves my camera. I am addicted to the clarity and the beautiful bokeh so i always loath to use my other lenses. I don't mind moving around to get the shot either...it keeps me on my toes.
I will never regret investing in this lens. |
| Top Quality, Professional-Grade Lens! | 2010-04-05 | 5 / 5 |
| This lens is expensive, but well worth the price!
I bought this lens through , and it arrived last Thursday. On Friday, I took it out for a brief test. I discovered that it is acceptably sharp wide open. Even at f/1.4, images are sharp. Sharpness increased as I stopped it down. By f/2.0, it was very sharp. Sharpness continued to increased as I stopped down. By f/8.0, it was unbelievably sharp! That is the "sweet spot" for the lens. As I stopped down farther, however, sharpness decreased. By f/22.0, image quality was terrible. In fact, image quality at f/1.4 was better than it was at f/16! Clearly, this lens was designed for low-light performance, with its maximum performance at f/8.0.
On Saturday, I took the lens out for a photo shoot, mounted on my Canon Rebel T1i camera. For my outdoor shots, I consistently used f/8 aperture, and the results were simply stunning. The sharpness of the images surpassed anything my other "L" lenses can produce. This lens is even sharper than my venerable 70-200 f/4.0L IS lens! And that is really saying something, because my telephone zoom lens is itself an incredibly sharp lens. What really surprised me, however, was the beautiful color saturation and contrast that the 35mm f/1.4 lens produced. Even without a polarizing filter, it delivered beautiful, rich, blue skies, handled unwanted glare/reflections with ease, and in general consistently produced professional quality images. I could easily print sharp, beautiful, poster-sized prints with the images this lens produced.
Since the lens does not have IS (Image Stabilization), I tried to always keep shutter speed at or above 1/30 second. But there was one occasion, in a very dimly lit interior scene, where I was forced to shoot at 1/8 second. I was sure I would get a blurry picture. Much to my surprise, however, the image was acceptably sharp, even at 1/8 second!
Bottom line: This is an expensive lens. But it delivers incredibly high quality, professional results, even when mounted on a Rebel body. Anyone who can afford this lens will be pleased with its performance. And when mounted on a cropped sensor camera, like the Rebel T1i, it becomes a 56mm lens - almost a normal angel of view! That makes this the ideal prime lens for cropped sensor cameras!

| Excellent Wide Angle Lense!! | 2010-02-25 | 5 / 5 |
| I can't say enough great things about this lense.
I will say that I just returned from 8 days in Paris and although I took 4 lenses (50/1.2L, 85/1.2L, 100/2.8L IS, and this one), I had this one on 95% of the time and it rocked!!! Super sharp pictures and great color. Well worth every penny. |
