What a Dream With the introduction of the mark II, the price of this lens has dropped a lot lately. For $999 this lens is much more affordable to the prosumers out there (like me). Ever since I first got into photography four years ago, this has always been my dream lens. Now that I have it, I feel no need for any other lens of similar focal lengths. It’s beautifully sharp and renders colors like a dream. The bokeh is godly. There’s a bit of CA present in high-contrast situations, but it can generally be corrected in post. Minimal distortion and manageable vignetting.Many of you looking at this lens will be comparing it to the Sigma Art. Yes, they cost almost the same now. Yes, the Sigma is optically superior. But the Sigma doesn’t render colors and tones like the Canon. The Sigma won’t last you 30 years like this lens will. The Sigma won’t have the same support staff backing it up. And ultimately, the Sigma… Isn’t a Canon.If you’re on the fence on buying Canon’s 35mm f/2…
Buy it. Best lens money can buy in my opinion. I’m happy i have the first generation and not the second generation, i hear the second generation is too plasticy. Anyways, this lens has been around North America with me, around the world 4 times, to dusty and wet places, and it has never let me down. Can’t quite find the words to describe the photos it takes, but they have a character, especially in the light distortion and bokeh, that few lenses can match. This lens works great for people who only want a single lens on a full frame as it captures portraits well if you stand less than 6 ft way from subjects, and landscapes, if you turn the aperture above f8. Never seen chromatic aberration on it once, which is typical of L lenses as well.This lens has helped take photos that will remind me of some of the most special times of my life, photos that have been in galleries, and photos that hang in my walls all the time. It will take the first photos of my future child. And I hope it…
