Verdict
The Canon EF 35mm f/1.4 USM L is highly regarded in the Canon community and it
also shows in the lab. The resolution figures are exceptional and among the
best tested so far. Typical for ultra-large aperture lenses vignetting is a little
on the high side at wide-open aperture even on an APS-C DSLR but the issue
remains correctable via imaging tools and stopping helps to resolves the issue
if needed. CAs are a little on the high side unfortunately.
Apart from the sheer lab related figures it's simply pure fun to use the
lens and the large aperture option is an inspiration for creative photography.
The build quality is typical for a Canon L grade lens - simply superb.
The EF 35mm f/1.4 USM L is not exactly a cheap lens but nonetheless - highly
recommended.
