Canon EF 24mm f/1.4L II USM

Wide angle sharpness from corner to corner.




Delivering exceptional wide angle performance and professional image quality, the EF 24mm f/1.4L II USM is the ideal landscape lens for your kit. Featuring a robust build, the EF 24mm f/1.4L II USM is well sized and beautifully balanced, making it very comfortable to use. Image sharpness is exceptional all the way out to the corners, while flare, chromatic aberration and vignetting are all very well controlled. Some impressive features include its ring-type ultrasonic motor driven autofocus, which is fast and accurate, even in low light conditions, and its full-time manual focusing, which allows for increased focus control. With its eight-blade aperture, you can create an attractive background blur in portraits, while its wider aperture lets you go a full two stops wider than other wide angle Canon lenses, helping you craft dramatic wide angle landscape shots.

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.

Subwavelength 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.
