About the Canon 24mm F/1.4L No one can argue the build quality of the Canon 24mm F/1.4L II. Just like all Canon L Series lenses, the Canon 24mm is built like a tank. It has weather sealing, a petal shaped lens hood, hosts a 77mm filter, and being tank-like, is constructed of all metal. Image quality of the Canon 24mm F/1.4L II is improved over the previous version. It may not be perfect but it’s still one of the best 24mm lenses on the market hand down. We believe Photojournalist will benefit the most from this lens. The Canon 24mm F/1.4L is small and unobtrusive to the situation. It’s also a wonderful lens for environmental portraits if that is in your wheelhouse. No matter which 24mm lens you go with, you’ll be able to create a lot of amazing art.
