Amazon delivered the lens exactly on time in perfect condition. We use this 35mm f/1.4 lens for our wedding videography business as well as for our photography, which is just for our own enjoyment. I've taken close-up portraits with this lens as well as full body portraits, wide shots and more. I've heard the things this lens can do be described as "unnatural" for a 35mm. This lens has an amazing one foot minmum focusing distance so you can get pretty close to your subject with minimal distortion. It's very versatile. It's certainly helped improve our skills as photographers as well taking our business to the next level. Mounted on a 5D Mark II this lens is fast providing beautiful quality in low-light situations such as a church or dance floor. I've used this lens for night time work as well and it performed splendidly. The AF is surprisingly fast, silent, and accurate - one of my concerns after I pulled the trigger on this purchase. Note, you will have to manually chose your focus point as the lens has a shallow DOF at lower apertures. Images from this lens look absolutely gorgeous. This is our first L lens so I don't have much else to compare it to but our clients and friends have been pleased and even impressed with the results. Image quality is addictingly excellent. You'll wish all of your lenses provided the quality images that come from this lens. This lens takes full advantage of the 5D Mark II's 21MP full-frame sensor (We have a 60D as a back-up body and the lens works great mounted on that body too for all the crop body users out there). Between the full-frame sensor and the shallow DOF, images take on an almost 3D effect creating a nice separation between the subject and the background. Sharpness is top notch even wide open at f/1.4. The sharpness does get better towards the edges beginning around f/2 and completely by f/2.8 but I feel like I'm splitting hairs when I notice it, the difference is negligible. Some say the images taken with this lens are too sharp showing skin flaws, etc. in portraits. All of these things however, can be corrected in post very quickly using Lightroom. Color reproduction and saturation are excellent requiring very little post work. Regarding build quality, the lens is made very well - what you'd expect from an L. It does not have weather sealing like some of the newer L lenses. I'm sure that will be on the 35mm f/1.4L II coming out soon but I'm also sure that it will be way more expensive than what this lens is going for now. The lens is made of a very high quality plastic and has a metal mount. The focus ring is dampened nicely. I do sometimes wish that it had the build quality of some of the newer L lenses (I like the feel of them) but I don't plan on throwing it against the sidewalk to see how far it will bounce back up anytime soon. All in all this is a fantastic lens. Yes, it's expensive, it's very expensive, BUT well worth it if you are looking for a top tier versatile Canon prime (one of the Canon prime holy trinity 35/85/135) that produces top notch images. Some say this Canon L prime can be compared to Zeiss and Leica lenses in terms of image quality. According to articles online, President Obama's first presidential portrait was made with this lens. I will say though that if you are on a budget, this lens is over 4x more expensive than the 35mm f/2 and comparing to my other lenses that I have from Canon, it does not produce images that are four times better. Magic rainbows will not pop out of your pictures/videos once you use this lens. If you need a lens that goes all the way f/1.4 then get this lens, it will not disappoint. Otherwise don't spend $1000 more than you need to on something that you will be disappointed with. If you plan on getting a 35mm L at some point, I would buy this now. The price is right since this version is towards the end of it's product cycle with Canon. TIP: You can see many photos taken with this exact lens by going to flickr.com and searching "Canon 35mm 1.4L" and clicking the Canon 35mm 1.4L group on the right-hand side of the page. Many images will also be tagged with the camera body that the photographer used. I also recommend you rent this lens first to try it out. I was able to use a friend's copy for a little bit before I bought mine. Thanks Canon for making this wonderful lens!

Awesome lens, 'nuff said. You'll know when you're ready for it, and when you are, just buy the damn thing and stop thinking about it. ***UPDATE*** Okay, so people didn't like my review above. I got a 1/3 helpful. I guess I need to include more? Umm, this lens is amazing. It's stellar. It has absolutely no negatives. The sharpness is outstanding, especially from f/4.0 and up. f/8 is superb, especially if you turn off in-camera sharpening and you know what you're doing in post processing. Colors and saturation are some of the best you can get from Canon. Definitely the best in the lower focal lengths, I think the 35 produces better colors than the 14mm, 24mm, 50mm 1.4/1.8 or 85mm 1.2/1.4. The 135 is a rival, and the 50 1.2 might be just as good, haven't tried it. The only lenses that I think compare are the 300 2.8 and the new 200 2.0. Maybe the old 200 1.8 but good luck finding one. Vignetting, well, if you ask me on a full frame sensor that's a feature for a lens like this. It's another creative tool for the photographer. Don't like it? Open up. Want more? Stop down. On a crop body (especially 1.6x) it's almost non-existant but you can still get a little past f/14. Great build quality. Solid contruction that withstands the rigors of full-contact wedding photography and various photojournalism assignments, including war zones, the desert, the rain forest, and cold regions. Fast focus for such a large aperture lens. Great manual focus ring too. Bright in the viewfinder, man this this collects light. Balanced, it feels great on a 5D, 5D II, 1D pro body, or even on a 40D/Rebel prosumer body. Just long enough to get a good support, short enough to keep the weight centered and balanced. Everything is internal, so you can use any filter you desire. No IS.. thankfully Canon hasn't given in to the IS craze and put IS on this lens yet. It's 35mm, you don't need IS. If you aren't using a decent quality body, or an older camera, you're going to have problems. The lens will out-perform your camera in many ways. This isn't a bad thing, but know that you can't just drop a Ferrari engine into a Daewoo and expect great things. What else can I say? You know when you're ready for a fast, accurate, top quality prime of this nature. You've probably had the nifty fifty 1.8 for a while, maybe you spent some money for the 50 1.4, and you'd like an L series prime. If you're into the normal field of view, this is a classic performer. In my opinion it's the ultimate walk-around lens for a pure photographer. Amazing for city street photography, rivals any Leica 5cm.

This lens is expensive, but well worth the price! I bought this lens through Amazon.com, 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!

I normally never write a review at all. However, I am so impressed with this lens, I think it is worthwhile for me to spread the word out. Let me start with a little bit of my background. I have always been shooting with a crop sensor camera (Rebel Xsi and now 7d) and have never really care for a prime lens. Most of the time I always use my EF-S 17-55mm lens or EF 70-200mm IS Mk II. However, at low light situation where external flash cannot be used, I wished that I have a fast prime lens. I bought the nifty-fifty (EF 50mm 1.8) but at times I felt I do not have enough room for my subjects. This is where the EF 35mm 1.4L comes into play. On a crop body, this lens is close to true 50mm lens. I bought this lens in December 2011 regardless of the rumor of version II is coming out. I was on the edge of either get it now or wait for the version II. However, Amazon offered an amazing price for this lens and without thinking further I bought it. The depth of field on this lens is indeed very short. At the beginning, this lens always produces soft images and I was not very satisfied. Fortunately, my 7d offers micro-adjustment feature which helped drastically. This lens is now consistently producing sharp (very very sharp!) pictures of everything. Wide open, this lens is very sharp. At 2.8, this lens is as sharp as my EF-S 17-55mm. Vignetting is not noticeable and focusing is lightning fast! Great bokeh and even lighter than the EF-S 17-55mm. As a matter of fact, I find myself using this lens more often than my EF-S 17-55mm. When I have to travel light, instead of bringing the EF-S 17-55mm, I brought this lens instead. Although the price tag on this is a bit steep (Even more expensive than the before-mentioned EF-S 17-55mm), I find that this lens is worth every penny. It even has a keeper approval from my wife once she sees the resulting photos. Oct 2012 Update: It has been 10 months since I bought this lens and I am really satisfied with this purchase. I got a chance to try this lens on a friend's 5D MKII and the camera really shows the quality of this lens. Yes, I do see a bit of vignetting when used with FF sensor. But the vignetting is nothing that cant be easily fixed with lens profile on either EOS utility or photoshop.

I was SUPER excited to try out my 35mm f/1.4L Canon. Unfortunately right when I started using it, I could tell that it was not working correctly. The product itself wasn't in great shape, but I bought the used version so I was expecting it to be flawless. The entire right side of every picture I took was blurry no matter how I adjusted the settings. I reached out to the company and they sent me a return label. I asked how long before I would receive the replacement as I wanted to use the lens for upcoming shoots. I was told 5-7 days. I sent in the damaged lens and then waited. Finally I received an email that they had received it and that they did NOT have a replacement so they are issuing a refund instead and told me to look elsewhere. Overall the process of buying, returning and waiting has taken almost three weeks. I am super disappointed and missed out on using it for shoots. I also now need to wait for the refund to begin the process of buying elsewhere. The only good thing about this is that they took it back.

I purchased it to shoot indoor pics of my 1 year old and I am very happy with this lens. Camera body is a 6D. I use it with and without a 600EX flash (bounced). I am new to DSLRs (8 months) and have the 24-105L kit lens plus a 50mm f1.4. This lens is much better than the 50mm 1.4 as it should be for the price. Speaking of price amazon has a good price plus I got the rebate in January. Canon is doing it again the month of March. I recommend this lens for low light photos of children. It focuses really fast and has pleasing bokeh (blurry backgrounds) when shot open with the thin DoF. I get my son playing...but also like to get him close up, then the backgrounds are even more blurry. If you shoot in raw, lightroom5 has a nice lens correction factor which will make your pictures look even better (fixes vignetting at 1.4), but you'll be fine without doing it. 35mm and 50mm focal lengths are good for getting kids in their normal enviroment and I haven't taken the 35mm off my camera since getting it. It's quite sharp, but the real reason I like it (besides the great bokeh) is the wide aperture. I normally shoot between 1.4 and 2.8 indoors to use a shutter speed of 1/125 or quicker because my son doesn't stay still. Next up for me is probably the 135mm f2 L. I would also like the 85mm 1.2L and think that the 35L 85L and 135L are great set of primes. The 85L is expensive so I was thinking of trying portrait focal lengths with the 135L first. Shorter focal lengths and wide angles are supposed to make ears and noses longer and less appealing, but I don't think this lens looks bad or has a lot of distortion. I recommend this lens or the 50L for kids indoors and low light. If you're using a crop camera then a 35 is 50 something...so you're good there also.

I recently tried the 35mm f1.4 as a step up from by mainstay 28-70mm f2.8 zoom. I found some other primes superior to a zoom, especially the 135mm f2.0 compared to the 70-200mm f4.0, but I found no improvement with the 35mm. Both the 35mm and the 28-70mm zoom are excellent lenses at f2.8 and above. Detail and contrast in the 35mm were noticeably lower at f1.4, especially at the edges (I use a full frame 1Ds and this not be as noticeable on a less than full frame digital body). Those problems disappeared at f2.8 and higher but the image was only comparable to the zoom, not better, even at 100% magnification. The 35mm may be a more useful lens for anyone who needs to shoot in low light without flash. It is also lighter than the zoom and would be easier to haul around. Since the prices are about the same for the 35mm f1.4 and 24-70 f2.8 zoom (which replaced the 28-70), a buyer should consider what features would be most useful when choosing.

I ordered this lens a month or so ago and it's left my main cam twice only out of necessity. I am not sorry I bought it ~ I am sorry however I waited so long to buy it (but who hasn't been once they've gotten their hands on this gem - and it is a gem of a lens). It being a prime lens, it's sharp - but more than that - it's just incredibly sharp ~ the most beautiful bokeh and it is built like a typical Canon L. The biggest downside is - no weather sealing - would have been a nice addition. There is some softness at f/1.4 - but even at 2.0 - it is still very sharp. I shoot in all kinds of conditions and lighting - thus far, I haven't had *much* of a problem with CA except around f/1.4 occasionally ... Like has been said many times before ~ focus is wicked fast and for my needs that's just perfect ... Color and contrast are superb etc etc ... What hasn't already been said about it ? ;o) ... And? It shipped with a center pinch cap (purchased / shipped from Amazon.com - not B&H, or other). Very easy to manage / handle - well balanced (feels well balanced on all my cam bodies). I know a lot of people seem to complain about the weight of the lens, but - it's not an issue for *me* - I shoot anywhere from a few candid shots (like a lot of people) to all day jobs. I have yet to run across an L that was lightweight. And the price? It's a Canon L lens - don't expect it to be inexpensive ~ but do expect it to be superior glass :o)
