I had some experience with this lens before I bought it-- fell in love with it instantly. I just love the construction, the sharpness, the contrast. Nearly perfect. When Canon came out with the II version, I jumped at the chance to get the original at a better price. I can't believe they thought this needed an upgrade. What a steal!

I bought this for natural lighting in low light conditions and it has been great, though a little pricey.

I fell in love when I purchased the 35mm 1.4. The 24mm 1.4 makes shooting pre wedding shots a breeze. I really love shooting prime lenses for weddings.

This is my best lens for indoor photography without the flash.

Sharp and light. The only wide angle lens that has the aperture needed for shallow depth-of-field photography. Great for weddings and events. My standard lens for "getting-ready" shots in a hotel room or salon. Also great for capturing group shots/dancing at receptions. Pricey, but worth it.

Professional wide-angle lens with an ultra-large maximum aperture of f/1.4. This is the first EF lens to employ both a replicated aspherical lens element to suppress distortion and spherical aberration, and a UD lens element to correct lateral chromatic aberration. Thanks to the floating construction, excellent corner-to-corner delineation is attained from 10 in. (25 cm) to infinity.
