A top quality piece of glass.
I have held off writing a review on this lens for almost a year. I really wanted to see how it performed on a range of shoots in a variety of lighting conditions. With images taken on a Canon 50D and EOS 1D mk IV. My conclusion is this is truly a wonderful lens.

Canon 24mm f1.4 mark II
This a a wonderful lens to use. Very little optical distortion and the photos have a clarity and color you can only get with these new second generation of Canon optics. You are way better off with the 24mm and 50mm L lenses than you are with the 24-70mm lens.
Pros:
- Can't buy a better lens at the 24mm length
Cons:
- Expensive
- but worth it

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

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

Satisfied!
Fast. Sharp. Essential to the prime lens collection. If you're wanting a wide angle, fast prime lens...this is the one you want. It's a Canon L-Series, so you can't go wrong.

Canon EF 24mm f1.4L II USM
By any standards, this Canon EF 24mm f1.4 is a pretty specialised lens. It's a fixed focal length optic in a camera world now dominated by zooms, and compared to the average zoom it's also fantastically expensive.
