The Canon EF 24mm f/1.4 USM L left some mixed feelings during the tests. The peak performance is about the best that I’ve seen at this focal length but it is reached late (f/8). The center quality is surely very impressive throughout the tested aperture range but this isn’t quite as true for the borders which are soft at f/1.4 and the quality only increases slowly towards medium aperture settings. The distortion and CA figures are acceptable for such a lens but vignetting is way too pronounced on an APS-C DSLR even though the problem is only visible at f/1.4. The build quality is typical for a Canon L grade lens – simply superb. If you’re looking for a high performance lens the EF 24mm f/1.4 USM L may be an option but if you don ´t need an ultra-large aperture it seems pointless to invest a magnitude more here.
