I've been looking to get the Canon 35mm for a long time - even had a friend willing to sell me his for only $1k. I am a fan of Randy Halverson and saw that he used this lens to capture the Milky Way. I did some research and decided to buy it. Took my first pics of the Milky Way with it on my Canon 6D and was extremely happy! The lens is heavy, but so is the Canon - that tells me it has good glass - not plastic.

I decided to try something supposedly better than my old canon 24-70 f/2.8 (the first version, not the new one) and I couldn't be happier. This is a completely manual lens, but if you are OK with live-view focusing, the results are just amazing.

This lens can produce great images if focus is taken care of which can be difficult especially when the lens is wide open. I found the only reliable way to focus the lens was to switch my D7000 to live view and focus manually with maximum magnification. I found that the optical viewfinder >o< dot unfortunately cannot produce any reliable result due to the fact that this lens is very sharp and sensitive to focus distance and there is always fine tune offset/difference in distance between the focus distance to optical viewfinder vs. actual sensor. When I use live view, the images are always sharp. This lens is more suited for static objects, landscape due to the manual focus only.

This is a great 35mm f/1.4 lens. It performs better than some much more expensive ones. The only thing you need to pay attention to is focusing. The lens may focus a bit further (or closer) on your camera. You'd better use it on a camera with advanced electronic focusing indicator, with ">oo" shows rather than usually the green dot "o". But considering the price is 1/3 of a Nikon 35mm f/1.4, I can accept this little inconvenience.
