This is the new version of Canons original 35mm EF f/1.4L. We didn't think that Canon could improve much on such a tried and true lens, but they delivered, and in a big way. This could be the best Canon lens in a long time. It's essentially distortion free and delivers sharp, high contrast details. The 9 blade diaphragm produces a gorgeous background blur and an impressive 18 point sunburst. It uses newly designed Blue Spectrum Refractive Optics which is said to correct chromatic abrasion better than any other technology. It is also built with dust and waster resistant construction. The Canon 35mm EF f/1.4L II is a first choice for photojournalists and wedding photographers who frequently work in poor lighting conditions. Sports photographers that can get close to their subjects will greatly appreciate the focal length and quick auto focus. The 35mm is also a first choice for videographers and shooting documentaries.
