Canon EF 24mm f/1.4 L II USM Lens

The EF 24mm f/1.4L II USM incorporates the newest in Canon lens technology for spectacular sharpness and impressive performance at all settings. It has two high-precision, large-diameter aspherical lenses for sharpness across the sensor. It also features two UD lens elements to minimise chromatic aberrations, incorporates rear-focusing, ultrasonic, quiet and high-speed AF with full-time manual override. A circular aperture provides beautiful out-of-focus detail.

Fast f/1.4 maximum aperture

A wide f/1.4 maximum aperture allows this lens to be very effective in low light situations and provides shallow depth of field focusing.

Aspherical and UD lens elements

Two aspherical and two UD lens elements minimize chromatic aberrations.

Sub-wavelength coating

The anti-reflective SWC (Sub Wavelength Coating) differs from conventional coatings by using a much finer structure, which minimizes ghosting and flaring across the lens surface, regardless of the angle with which light enters or exits.

Ring-type USM autofocus motor

Canon's very best autofocus mechanisms are in place, permitting full-time manual focusing override without requiring a switchover from AF to MF mode. The USM (Ultrasonic Motor) is fast and virtually silent which is ideal for discreet shooting and when using this lens to record video. The floating rear focusing system maintains performance across the entire focus range.

L-series

Canon's "L-Series" designation indicates that this lens meets their highest quality standards with excellent color reproduction and edge to edge sharpness. Lens elements are made from lead-free glass and a tight seal structure ensures excellent dust and moisture-proof performance.
