excellent prime lens for any light conditions [Posted on 2007-10-22]
This is the perfect prime for low light conditions, at f/1.4 its very sharp and produces great shots, just one step up and the photos are even sharper! great build quality which should be expected for an L lense at this price level.
if you can do with less width, a 35mm f/2 would be a decent alternative, or if you can give in on the length as well, a 28mm f/1.8 provides nice shots at higher apertures. both of these are a lot cheaper and significantly lighter in weight, but if youre looking for the perfect lense, the 35mm f/1.4 is one the best choices.
35L color is excellent !! [Posted on 2007-11-10]
This lens is great to shoot some indoor picture without flash.
and the color and contrast on this lens is excellent!!
The Canon "Bokeh King" [Posted on 2008-01-16]
Some of you may know about the 35mm Leica lens that was dubbed the "Bokeh King" for the wonderfully pleasant quality of bokeh that it created. This lens very much reminds me of it. Achieving bokeh is done with many lenses. Achieving that special "wow" bokeh is only achieved with an elite few. I believe this lens is a member of that elite few. It is professional looking and artistic looking at once. Easily controllable; automatically just the right amount and character in every shot. Just purely brilliant bokeh. I also own the 135mm f/2L which also receives high praise for its bokeh but in my opinion it is not as good as this lens. More bokeh doesn't necessarily mean best bokeh. It is the quality of the bokeh. This lens truly possesses that special quality. Alright, enough about the bokeh.
Sharpness? Of course it is razor sharp. It better be for this price. I just expected that. If your's isn't then you need to return it for another one.
Low-light performance? The best I have experienced from any Canon lens, and I have owned several professional and/or low-light Canon lenses.
I sold my awesome 24-70mm lens to get this lens and I took a leap of faith in doing so. It looks as if I made a good decision. I do so because the 24-70 is too heavy and unwieldy and the f/2.8 of the lens is not good for indoors without a flash. Plus, 35mm was the focal length I was using most. Again I am very happy I did so. This lens was everything I hoped it would be and more. I don't see it coming off the 5D for a long while.
This is one of the best kept secrets in Canon "L" lenses. I can't understand why this lens gets so little attention. I guess it is because everyone favors the convenience of Zoom lenses. This is bar none the best Canon lens I have ever owned. I can't wait for it's first wedding which is in a few weeks.
Best. Lens. Ever. [Posted on 2008-06-14]
I do landscape photography with my Canon 40D. This lens is absolutely perfect. The color and DOF is insane. I am convinced this lens was given to us by aliens. Just buy one, you will not be disappointed. You cannot beat the L glass. Best. Lens. Ever.
A+ from Mark Gardner Photography [Posted on 2008-09-21]
This lens is permanently fixed to one of my 1DMkIII cameras because it's the perfect focal length for most general situations. This lens is super-sharp and super-fast. One of the best lens in my bag.
