Comments about Canon Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L USM AutoFocus Wide Angle Lens - Gray Market:
I tried this lens on a 20D, but the tight crop wasted its potential. This was my first lens purchase just for the 5D. I recently took it on a trip to Italy with 2-L zooms from 16~70 and an 85 prime. Left them in the hotels...I wanted to see if I could revisit my M4-2& P w/35 mm Summ. RF days. With the great low light 5D ability, I was able to use the combo in dim restaurants, churches, museums, interior portraits and candids, street scenes, scenics, whatever, wherever. Never used flash. Fast focusing, bright vwf image, accurate color just a great all around combination...5D FF and 35/L. There were just a couple of times when the 24/L would have been handy in tight streets and interiors.

Comments about Canon Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L USM AutoFocus Wide Angle Lens - Gray Market:
Excellent indoor lens with lighting fast focus for tracking my 1-year-old son. Sharp, beautiful bokeh for a wide-angle lens. Requires very little sharpening in Photoshop. This and the 85L are my two favorite lens.

Comments about Canon Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L USM AutoFocus Wide Angle Lens - Gray Market:
I use this lens a lot and really love it. The bokeh is wonderful and it does not get any better for a fast normal/semi-wide lens. You will not regret this purchase and I consider this a "must-have" lens that is worth every penny.

Comments about Canon Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L USM AutoFocus Wide Angle Lens - Gray Market:
While traveling in Cartagena Colombia, I was able to take pictures of the interior of Casa El Carretero [...]
This place had incredible interiors worth showing. The camera lenses worked like a charm, specially in the hard to reach areas.

Comments about Canon Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L USM AutoFocus Wide Angle Lens - Gray Market:
Mated to an EOS 1Ds this lens is superb. Open up to F1.4 the lens is sharp and detailed. Contrast is excellent. Depth of field is only an issue when subject to camera distances are small. Otherwise focusing is not as critical as the 85mm F1.2.
Some lens flaring or chromatic abberation is evident when wide open (F1.4, although many very fast lenses exhibit this;no evident approaching F2.0 and above.
Buy and use with confidence. Use it in a church or apartment and shoot with ambient lightting. This is a must lens. Distortion is also minimal although evident slightly when there are architectual lines alonh the edge of the frame.

Comments about Canon Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L USM AutoFocus Wide Angle Lens - Gray Market:
I still using this EF35 F1.4 lenses sometime if I'm not lazy to change for the other zoom 24-70 lenses. This lenses good for low lighting condition of course, but not convenience
