This lens is exactly what you need it to be. the image is sharp, the 35mm angle is highly versitile, and the fast f stop makes it great in low light. I personally use it for video but obviously its great for photo too. You can beat Canon

I love my 35mm lens! I started off with the sigma 35mm lens and upgraded to the canon version, both lenses are great but I did see more sharpness in the canon version. I shoot almost all my shoots with this lens and it doesn?t ever leave my site! Completely recommend this lens if it?s your type of focal length!

Super sharp across the frame, and beautiful bokeh. A real professional quality lens. Besides the weight, it's close to perfection.

I realy like this Canon prime L lens, especially for groups photos. Occasionally for environmental portraits. Tack sharp. Excellent AF performance, even under low light. My only nit is the use of a 72mm focal length. Most of my Canon L lenses are 77mm. I hate step-down rings, since they tend to bind can be a PIA to remove. They also interfere with using the lens cover and the lens shade.

I had been taking a 24-105 F4 and also a 16-35mm for portrait and landscape shots. While the 24-105 F4 is an excellent lens at 35mm, the 16-35mm II @ 35mm just didn't cut the mustard even with profile correction. After reading many reviews and seeking out lens align test shots, the 35mm 1.4 II came into view. This is one serious lens. Super fast, sharp, excellent bokeh and a superior portrait/landscape lens all in this one prime.

I would purchase this lens 10 times over. I use a Mark IV to do wedding and lifestyle photography. This is my go to lens for everything. It never fails to deliver the crystal clear images that I love and creamy beautiful bokeh!

I rented this lens before buying and fell in love with it. It's easily my favorite lens in my kit. I'm not a pro by any means but this lens just takes the cleanest and tack sharp photos. Highly recommend if you're in the market for a 35mm fixed.

I previously had the 35mm Sigma Art which I loved but as Sigma's do it eventually went soft so I decided to pick up the Canon version this time. Great lens!

This is a great lens. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is the price. Now days you can get as good if not a better primes for cheaper.

This lens won me over from the get-go. This is a fantastic around-the-house lens. Family events and walk around, this lens is great. All the quality you come to expect from canon. This is my capstone lens, I own (all L) 16-35, 24-105, 70-200, 85, 100 macro and the nifty 50 (non L). Wish I had bought this sooner.

If I only had to pick one lens to shoot an entire wedding with it would be this one. You won't regret purchasing this lens.

I purchased the 35mm F1.4 II as a refurbished unit and truthfully its looks brand new with the exception of the original packaging. The quality is NEXT LEVEL compared to my 35mm F2 IS lens! I currently shoot with a Full-Frame Canon 6D. I am 100% satisfied with my purchase from Canon USA. All pros, no cons.

I bought this a few months ago but because of a combo of bad weather and some illnesses, I haven't gotten to use it that much. However, the few times I did the lens exceeded my expectations. One use: I took pre-race photos of a 10K and it gave me some of the best group and indoor shots I have ever taken with my 5D. I switched to a telephoto for the action shots outdoors but I probably would have done just as well with this lens.

Pretty great, almost perfect
By Sproesser
I am a big fan of Canon gear, but I'm not completely sold on their wider angle prime lenses, due to sharpness and other image quality issues. I own this lens and it steps up the bar for canon. My sharpest Canon lens seems to be the 135 f2 L, which has pretty much no visible CA, and crazy sharpness. The 85mm L is also pretty amazingly sharp. This lens is worth it. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for the 50mm L. The Sigma beats it on image quality and price. My tests are with a 5DSR, so it'...

I love it!

I bought this lens after I bought the Sigma 1.4 Art. I loved the images I was getting with the Sigma in terms of the quality of the focal range and color -- everything really. EXCEPT, I was using it primarily in very low light and was having consistent issues with Auto-Focus in low light wide open. I traded it back in and spent double to buy this lens. It is much better focusing in the low light for me.
For professional photographers and enthusiasts alike, the Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L II USM Lens is a game-changer. This high-quality, EF-mount lens is specifically designed to enhance your photography experience, offering a combination of powerful optical attributes and innovative technology.
This wide-angle 35mm lens is perfectly compatible with full-frame Canon EF-mount DSLRs, and when used with APS-C models, it provides a 56mm equivalent focal length. This dual compatibility allows for greater flexibility and creative experimentation, regardless of your camera model.
The fast f/1.4 maximum aperture is more than just a specification; it's your key to capturing crystal-clear photos even in challenging low-light conditions. This feature also provides significant control over depth of field, allowing you to experiment with selective focus techniques and redefine depth in your shots.
Equipped with the revolutionary Blue Spectrum Refractive Optics element, this lens expertly refracts blue light wavelengths to counter color fringing. This ensures every shot you take is imbued with clarity and color precision.
The lens also features a pair of aspherical elements and one UD element to control aberrations and distortions, ensuring each image stands out for its sharpness and clarity. With the shortest minimum focusing distance in its class at 0.28m and a maximum magnification of 0.21x, this lens opens up new possibilities for creative expression.
The applied Sub Wavelength Coating combats lens flare and ghosting, ensuring greater contrast and color fidelity, especially in challenging lighting conditions. The ring-type Ultrasonic Motor (USM) ensures autofocus is fast, precise, and unobtrusive, while the full-time manual focus override allows you to take control when needed.
As a member of the revered L-series, this lens is fortified against dust and moisture, ensuring it performs optimally in varied environmental conditions. The fluorine-coating keeps the lens resistant to smudging and fingerprints, making it easy to clean and maintain.
The rounded nine-blade diaphragm facilitates a beautiful out-of-focus backdrop, perfect for achieving that dreamy bokeh effect or experimenting with selective focus techniques. With the Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L II USM Lens, every detail matters. Embrace those details, redefine depth, and capture moments with unmatched clarity. This lens is ready to elevate your photography to new heights.
