The Canon EF 24mm f/1.4L II USM is a high-performance wide-angle prime lens from Canon’s prestigious L-series, designed for full-frame EF-mount DSLRs. With its bright f/1.4 maximum aperture, this lens excels in low-light conditions, offering greater control over depth of field for creative photography. It is equipped with two ultra-low dispersion (UD) elements to reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing, as well as two aspherical elements to minimize spherical aberrations and distortion. These features combine to ensure high sharpness and clarity across the frame. The lens also includes a Sub Wavelength Coating (SWC) on individual elements, which significantly reduces lens flare and ghosting, delivering better contrast and color neutrality, even in challenging lighting situations.
In terms of focusing, the EF 24mm f/1.4L II USM incorporates a ring-type Ultrasonic Motor (USM), offering fast, precise, and nearly silent autofocus. Additionally, full-time manual focus override allows for further control when needed. The internal floating focusing mechanism ensures consistent image quality across the entire focusing range, from 9.8 inches to infinity. This lens also benefits from a rounded eight-blade diaphragm, which helps produce smooth bokeh for a pleasing out-of-focus background. As an L-series lens, the EF 24mm f/1.4L II USM is sealed to protect against dust and moisture, making it suitable for use in various environmental conditions.
