Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
Fast aperture prime lens
The EF 24mm f/1.4L II USM has a large maximum aperture of f/1.4, offering the chance to capture superb low-light photographs, as well as a circular aperture and narrow depth of field to give pleasing background blur. A focal length of 24mm is ideal for wide-angle photography: making the lens well-suited to the needs of photojournalists, landscape photographers and those who enjoy taking images from a wider perspective.

Aspheric and UD elements
Image quality has been greatly improved with the EF 24mm f/1.4L II USM thanks to the addition of two high-precision aspheric lenses to correct aberration including curvature of field and distortion. Chromatic aberration common in wide-angle shooting is also combated by the inclusion of two UD lenses, ensuring optimum image quality and corner-to-corner detail.
Sub-wavelength structure lens coating
Designed for use in digital photography, Canon’s patented lens element coating helps minimise the ghosting and flare caused by internal reflections. By eliminating the cause, the coating reduces reflections and helps to deliver crisp, clear images.
USM focus motor
The EF 24mm f/1.4L II USM’s near-silent Ultra Sonic Motor (USM) provides super-fast auto-focusing with full-time manual override. The floating internal focus system also helps maintain high image quality throughout the focal range.
Robust build quality
Canon lenses are built to withstand regular use in the most testing environments. Weather and dust seals provide added protection, and a lens hood and pouch are also included in the package.
Lead-free optics
Environmentally friendly lead-free glass is used throughout the construction of the EF 24mm f/1.4L II USM.

Excellent!

I'm surprised I'm the first to review this item on Amazon. What can I tell you, this is hands down one of the best lenses around. Sharp! Between this lens, my 50mm 1.2L, and the 70-200mm 2.8L USM II IS, and a 100mm Macro, my photography and Video making needs are fulfilled. You can read all the technical info on this lens on the Canon website as well as read the rave reviews about it online. So, I won't get into it. But if you're a serious photographer or a 5D Mk ii/1D Mk iv filmmaker, there's no question you need this lens. I use it for both video and stills on my 5D Mk ii and 7D and have enjoyed the superb image quality and bokeh within its wide angle frame. The 1.4 prime is a must for an independent filmmaker.

For such an expensive product, a prime lens, I expected not to be fine tuning my EOS 7D in order to get the right focus.
If I lived in USA, would certainly ask for another copy. I think I'll just have to live with this one.
When tuned gives prime results...
