Accompanied with my 85mm 1.2l ii I have need of no other. Both are amazing and dare I say the 35mm leads as my personal favourite.
Pros:
- Great colour, contrast, micro contrast, bokeh and 3D pop
- Also weather sealed and excellent build

Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L II USM
This is an amazing lens for sharpness across the frame - you can absolutely see it crystal clear with a 5DSR. Even at the outmost AF point on the 5DSR it is tack sharp at F1.4! Zero CA that I can tell - the image is so clean.
Pros:
- sharpness across the frame is outstanding
Cons:
- nothing

Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L II USM Review
The Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L II USM is an exceptionally sharp wide-angle prime lens that excels for low-light and shallow depth of field photography. The Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L II USM ($1,799) is an update to a prime lens that's the favorite of many a photographer, with a moderately wide field of view that's equally adept for capturing images at a wedding, on the street, or in a war zone. It carries a premium price tag, but matches it with exceptional performance, even when shot at f/1.4 and paired with Canon's highest-resolution camera, the EOS 5DS R ($3,899.00 at Amazon) . If you lust after a fast 35mm lens, and don't mind paying a premium for Canon glass, the EF 35mm f/1.4L II USM is an excellent way to go, and an Editors' Choice. If your budget is tight, however, don't count out the Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG HSM Art ($683.00 at Amazon) , which is less expensive and an exceptional performer on 20MP cameras, or the Tamron SP 35mm f/1.8 Di VC USD ($559.00 at Amazon) , an excellent budget option if you don't mind using an f/1.8 lens. DesignThe EF 35mm f/1.4L II ($1,799.00 at Amazon) is on the large side for a prime lens, but that's the ...
Pros:
- Extremely sharp
- BR Optics eliminate color fringing

The whole nine yards: Canon 35mm F1.4L II USM review
The 35mm F1.4L II USM is a fantastic lens from Canon. Ultra-sharp and impressively free of aberrations at all apertures and across the frame, it tops the class. Exceptional build quality raises the bar still further, but it all comes at a cost. Much cheaper rivals also offer great image quality, some with image stabilization too, but when only the best will do, the Canon 35mm F1.4L USM Mark II stands alone.
Pros:
- Reportage, weddings and environmental portraits. Unparalleled sharpness when used wide open, good for blurring backgrounds and subject isolation, or in low light. Robust build when the going gets tough.
Cons:
- Those on a tighter budget, or wanting image stabilization, or looking for something lighter

Canon has thrown everything it's got at the 35mm F1.4L USM MkII, with a ground-up remake of the MkI original from 1998. This is a lens with the most advanced and innovative optics, heavy duty construction, and lightning autofocus - the whole nine yards. It is priced accordingly.

Canon EF 35mm F/1.4L II USM Lens Review
Back in the day when fixed-focal-length optics reigned supreme, the 35mm lens, along with its wider cousin, the 28mm, was known as the lens a portrait or wedding photographer would use for group or full-length portraits or, especially if it had a fast aperture, the photojournalist would use to grab...

I would purchase this lens 10 times over. I use a 6D and a Mark IV to do wedding and lifestyle photography. This is my go to lens for everything. I let never fails to deliver the quality images I crave. I originally purchased a Sigma Art 35 but ended up selling because it lost focus after 2 months.
