I particularly appreciate the colors and the sharpness of these lenses

I used it to shoot some video on the 5D Mark III in very low light (a small bar on New Year's Eve with funky mixed lighting) at around f/1.8 with ISO in the 3200 - 5000 range, and the footage came out so clean with just brilliant colors and an amazing film-like look

it is quite a bit softer and the colors are not as accurate either

Once it is focused, however, the color and bokeh is beautiful.

It should be no surprise that this lens exceeds both of them in all respects, image quality, color saturation, distortion, sharpness, chromatic aberration, etc.

From f/1.4 through f/5.6 apertures, this 24mm prime wins hands-down however - chromatic aberration, contrast, color saturation and (outstanding wow!

I had two images that were taken less than 30 seconds apart; identical settings and locations, yet the L lens image was far sharper with beautiful color saturation and depth

Great colors, great contrast, great OOF

This lens is sharp, nice colors, nice bokeh, and focuses fast.

Color and contrast are perfect and it focuses fast and sharp in all light.

Very sharp, great colors, love it :)

Ultimately this issue attests to the fact that autofocus is never 100% accurate with any lens, but I see less misfires with my Canon 50mm f/1.4 and my Sigma 85mm f/1.4 lenses, so the fact that this L lens with a steep L price cannot autofocus consistently is a bit disheartening

I made the plunge and dropped $1529.00 down for my first L lens and boy, what a disappointment!

It is classic L quality, both inside and out
