The EF 24mm f/1.4L II offers excellent image quality even in unfavorable lighting conditions, thanks to its high brightness of f/1.4. It is ideal for creating an attractive blur effect in the background, with its circular aperture and shallow depth of field at wide open. The versatile 24mm focal length allows for balanced wide-angle shots, making it particularly appealing to photojournalists, landscape photographers, and anyone who enjoys working from a broad perspective.

Two additional high-precision aspherical lenses correct imaging errors such as field curvature and distortions, resulting in significantly improved image performance. Chromatic aberrations are not uncommon in wide-angle shots; however, two UD lenses in the EF 24mm f/1.4L II correct these imaging errors and ensure sharp images from edge to edge.
