24mm 1.4 – Purely Delicous

About a month ago the newest addition to my optical arsenal arrived in the mail, my Canon 24mm 1.4 L Series Lens. 1 word can only describe my feelings on this lens: wow.
I am kicking myself for not buying it sooner. This baby can find light that even your eyes can’t see. I’m not even exagerating. Incredibley fast and razor sharp. I LOVE TIHS LENS!!

Being that I shoot on a crop sensor, it’s not quite as wide as on a full frame, but it’s about as wide as I need it to be, as it works out to be just over the standard. I have the 50mm 1.4 as well, which I equally adore, but find that it’s a bit long indoors sometimes…again, due to the crop. But having both now gives me some awesome flexibility when I need something wider. I think this could become my new workhorse prime!

I took this photo at close to midnight on the day I got it…..
No tripod.
No flash.
Nothing but the parking lot lights and the lights inside the windows, but look how much this lens picks up!
