The Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L USM proves its worth in poor lighting conditions. It focuses fast and accurately.

It is already fast at f/1.4. From f/2 onward it is extremely sharp. At wide apertures it produces very beautiful out-of-focus blurring (bokeh.).

The lens can boast the maximum lens speed in its class. The ninth element in its optical scheme is a ground aspherical lens, almost completely eliminating spherical aberration and distortion.

A nonrotating filter mount ensures a simple use of  circular polarizing, gradient and other filters.
