ephotozine‘s review Edit

Although it's not cheap, the high price tag is more than justified by the excellent optical performance, build quality and handling. Images produced by this lens have good contrast and are packed with detail. Those who shoot in low light conditions regularly at this focal length can't really go far wrong in giving this lens some serious consideration.

slrgear‘s review Edit

The Canon 24mm ƒ/1.4L II USM is an excellent lens, with only two reservations, both relating to the lens' usage on full-frame bodies. The first is some corner softness when used at wide apertures; the second is substantial corner shading, upwards of two stops when used wide open. Both of these attributes could be considered features, contributing to the unique look produced by this lens, and in either case the performance is improved dramatically by stopping down just one or two stops. While we can't comment on whether its performance is better than the previous version of the lens (not having yet tested it) we can say that if you need a fast, wide-angle lens for your Canon camera, you won't be disappointed with this one.

photozone‘s review Edit

The Canon EF 24mm f/1.4 USM L II gave us some mixed feelings during the tests. If you use it at its sweet settings - that's between f/4 and f/8 - the lens will be about as good as it gets for a lens in this class. It's extremely sharp here and there's no significant vignetting to speak of. Lateral CAs are also no serious problem and the distortions are well controlled. The question may be whether this is "good enough" though. At max. aperture (f/1.4) the technical image quality isn't all that great - an extreme vignetting and soft corners are obvious flaws here.

The-Digital-Picture‘s review Edit

The Canon EF 24mm f/1.4 L II USM Lens is, without question, Canon's best-performing (optically and physically) and best-built 24mm autofocus lens. It is also Canon's widest angle lens with an aperture wider than f/2.8 - a full 2 stops wider than all wider angle Canon lenses. This lens looks great, feels great and functions superbly.
