  • Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L USM

    10 out of 10 points and recommended
    Fast, super sharp from 2 and up, fantastic bokeh
    heavy, obvious CA in bright light at 1.4

    I love this lens, fast and really sharp when stopped up a little, really awesome bokeh and paper thin DoF , definitely on the heavier side, but solidly put together, definitely on the heavier side, but a solid piece nonetheless. There is some CA in the 1.4 to about 2 range of f stops when shooting into bright lights, but it can be avoided by stopping down. I got a great deal on a used lens so I can't really complain super happy with this lens, it practically lives on my camera body (XSI). I can't wait to see it on a full frame body.

  • Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L USM

    9 out of 10 points and recommended
    sharp, solidly built, usm
    big, obvious

    It's a great lens, excellent focus, use a tripod for longer lengths / longer exposure combinations. I don't have any complaints good price for the lens and great reach on a crop body sensor (XSI), I wish it were shorter or black. I will upgrade to the IS version at some point.
