The Canon EF 24mm f/1.4L II USM Lens merges a popular wide-angle focal range with an impressively fast maximum aperture, part of the esteemed Canon L-series. It boasts a tough construction and an advanced optical arrangement. Chromatic aberration and color fringing are minimized thanks to two ultra-low dispersion elements, while two aspherical elements minimize spherical aberrations and distortion to enhance sharpness and precision. Coatings on individual lenses reduce flare and ghosting, promoting contrast and color fidelity in various lighting scenarios. The lens excels with its rapid f/1.4 aperture, beneficial in dim lighting and for achieving shallow depth of field effects. A ring-type USM autofocus motor delivers quick, silent AF with manual focus override. Moreover, a floating internal focusing mechanism maintains high image quality throughout the focus range.
