I’ve been wanting to upgrade some of my lenses, so just recently I decided to grab the 35L for a weekend rental…. a test drive if you will… to make sure it was something I was interested in. Little did I know I was about to fall in love!
I was expecting to be impressed but even my far fetched ideas on how this lens performs were blown away. I’m seriously digging it so far! Tack sharp, amazing AF and beautiful bokeh… the things lens crushes are made of!
No one at my house was interested in having their photo taken, so here’s a shot of my ever faithful cat Pepper:
Looking forward to getting to know this lens better over the coming months! Yep, that’s right… it’s as good as bought! ;D

Tim - Congrats! It’s one of Canon’s best.
Sara Reimer - I know a few photographers’ who are in love with this lens. Do you mind if I ask what you normally shoot with as a walk around/multipurpose lens? Do you think this will become your new standard?
s h e r r y - Love it! I wish Nikon would release a 35mm f/1.4 already!
:D
Carolyn Egerszegi - Love the mushy gorgeousness of Pepper’s nose. Don’t new lenses just make you giddy??
Amber - Hehe… thanks for the lens love everyone!
Sara Reimer – My usual walk around lens is my Canon 50 1.4, but I’m planning to replace it with this and a Sigma 50 1.4.
Kim Spears - Amber isn’t it AMAZING ?!!! It is my go-to lens and I rarely take it off these days
Drew - I can’t wait to get one… soon it will be mine. I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone say they didn’t LOVE the 35L
