Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
EOS digital SLRs are backed up by the world's most comprehensive system of interchangeable lenses. From 14mm ultra wide angle to 600mm super telephoto, the 60+ lenses in the EF series cover all possible shooting requirements. See the world from new perspectives. Capture your vision through the eyes of EOS.
Fixed focal length lenses generally offer a wider maximum aperture than zoom lenses. From ultra-wide angle lenses ideal for indoor shooting to long telephoto lenses extensively used for wildlife, sports and news photography Canon has the fixed focal length lens to suit you.
This 35mm L-Series lens boasts the brightness of the largest aperture in its class and unrivaled natural delineation. A ground and polished aspherical glass lens element (9th) thoroughly eliminates spherical aberration and distortion.
It achieves extremely sharp, faultless image quality only possible with a single focal length lens. A floating mechanism in its optical system corrects all aberrations in the medium and near focusing distances to maintain the lens' super image quality from the closest shooting distance of 0.3m to infinity.
The AF drive system features silent, high-speed AF using rear focus system and a ring USM (Ultrasonic Motor). A wide focus ring permits smooth full-time manual focusing. The non-rotating filter frame affords easy use of circular polarizing and other type of filters. All eleven lens elements are made of environment-friendly lead-free glass.

Everything you may have read about this lens is true; it is capable of taking the most amazing photographs. Yes, it is very expensive - but it's worth it:
I do not find it easy to use, wide-open it can be difficult to get the focus where you want it, so the "keeper" ratio isn't great; But with digital photography, that is no longer a big issue.
BUT, The lens has great colours and contrast, and of course the big max aperture lets you take photos where you'd never bother even trying before; I hate flash and I hardly ever use it with this lens; it seems almost an insult to do so. Natural low light + F1.4 can give your pictures a dreamy almost cinematic look. My copy seems to sharpen up a bit at f1.8 or so but even at f1.4 I've got some some fantastic pictures. And I don't miss having a zoom at all, you just get used to having to walk around more; I need the exercise anyway. I've been "bitten" by the prime bug and now also have a 135mm f2.
I'm using it with my trusty old EOS20; you may get even better results with a full-frame SLR.
I thoroughly recommend it - it can take your photography to a new place.

Ive had this lens for about 18 months and its one of my sharpest lenses, only beaten by the 135 and 200 mm L primes, which gives you an idea of how sharp it can be (it's a bit trickier to use in fairness, due to the dim light I'm often using it in)
Great colour rendition and contrast. Nice Bokeh and very fast. Very shallow DOF at 1.4 so watch your focus. Makes a great walking around lens at parties, so highly recommended for wedding photogs shooting small groups.
My only reservation is the price, which is a bit on the stupid side.

Astonishing lens
I desperately wanted a 50mm lens as I love this focal length but having tried Canon's main offerings (the 1.2 and 1.4) I was bitterly disappointed with both. The 1. Read more
