Great optics for the price!
This here is the BEST 24mm you will find in the world. Having a maximum aperture of 1.4 is VERY useful in low light and great for subject isolation. My only problem is that it had a bit of a front focus problem but I sent that to Canon for recalibration free of charge.
Pros:
- Durable
- Fast / accurate auto-focus
- Nice Bokeh
- Strong Construction
Cons:
- Heavy

My favourite lens
If I had just 1 lens to use for everything this would be it. Its view matches how I see the world (on my 7D). It is fast, sharp, rock solid and reliable. Highly recommended.
Pros:
- Superior build quality
- Super-sharp images
- Fast auto-focus

A high quality fast wide lens.
A superb lens for low light shooting but also an excellent prime for landscapes on full frame cameras. Optical quality remains excellent on a 1.6 crop camera and still provides a very useful focal length (close to 35mm). Great sharpness even wide open, fast and accurate focus.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Contrasty
- Durable
- Great colour
- Quick Focus
- Sharp Focus
Cons:
- Not cheap

Canon EF 24mm f/1.4L II USM Lens Review
Gary Wolstenholme reviews the premium fast wide-angle Canon EF 24mm f/1.4L II USM lens.
Pros:
- Excellent optical performance
- Build quality
- Fast focusing
- Bright maximum aperture
- Resistance to flare and loss of contrast
Cons:
- May be a little pricey for some
- Quality towards the edges at maximum aperture could be better (although this is a minor concern for a wide aperture lens like this)

Courteous staff handled problem nicely
This particular lens was "off" dramatically in terms of focus accuracy. This was particularly disappointing because it was to go on a European trip with me (it got sent back instead). I have several other L lenses and will consider this an anomaly unless the next one is the same.
Pros:
- Strong Construction
- Durable
Cons:
- Blurry Focus

Ideal lens for low-light interior photography
"After being disappointed in the performance of the kit lenses bundled with my Canon 40D I decided to buy this lens (Canon EF 24mm F1.4L II USM). What a difference. This lens is very well suited for low-light interior photography as it's fast and has a nice and wide FOV.

Excellent lens
It's an excellent lens, obviously, it's an L. My only problem with it was slow autofocus. However, I was using it indoors without flash, and am still new to the lens, so we'll see...
Pros:
- Nice Bokeh
- Rugged
- Strong Construction
Cons:
- Blurry Focus
- Heavy
- Slow Focus
