Canon 35mm f/1.4L II Aperture Series: Icy Waterfall to High Peaks
Get Canon 35mm f/1.4L II at B&H Photo.
My Canon 35mm f/1.4L (prior version is for sale): $700.
Perhaps because of the demise of the DSLR market, a lens arrived last fall which may represent the best 35mm lens on the market today and yet has not seen much love: the Canon 35mm f/1.4L II. At about $1799 it is a very strong value for what it delivers.
This high dynamic range scene is beyond the limits of the Canon 5DS R sensor and is thus a challenge for a lens in maintaining detail and contrast.
Specular highlights on water show us bokeh near and far and the near to far scenery show just how much stopping down is needed. Quality wide open is also plainly revealed.
