Fast aperture prime lens
The EF 24mm f/1.4L II USM has a
large maximum aperture of f/1.4, offering the chance to capture superb
low-light photographs, as well as a circular aperture and narrow depth
of field to give pleasing background blur. A focal length of 24mm is
ideal for wide-angle photography: making the lens well-suited to the
needs of photojournalists, landscape photographers and those who enjoy
taking images from a wider perspective.
Aspheric and UD elements
Image
quality has been greatly improved with the EF 24mm f/1.4L II USM thanks
to the addition of two high-precision aspheric lenses to correct
aberration including curvature of field and distortion. Chromatic
aberration common in wide-angle shooting is also combated by the
inclusion of two UD lenses, ensuring optimum image quality and
corner-to-corner detail.
Subwavelength structure lens coating
Designed for use in
digital photography, Canon’s patented lens element coating helps
minimise the ghosting and flare caused by internal reflections. By
eliminating the cause, the coating reduces reflections and helps to
deliver crisp, clear images.
USM focus motor
The EF
24mm f/1.4L II USM’s near-silent Ultra Sonic Motor (USM) provides
super-fast auto-focusing with full-time manual override. The floating
internal focus system also helps maintain high image quality throughout
the focal range.
Robust build quality
Canon lenses
are built to withstand regular use in the most testing environments.
Weather and dust seals provide added protection, and a lens hood and
pouch are also included in the package.
Lead-free optics
Environmentally friendly lead-free glass is used throughout the construction of the EF 24mm f/1.4L II USM.
