p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Is my lens broken? 24mm 1.4L


recently picked up a used 24mm f/1.4L (version 1) and I'm getting this weird blur on the corners, with both my 1.3x crop cameras. Is this typical of this lens?

No, its not typical. Something is clearly wrong here. I foresee a trip to Canon repair for your lens!

Not even remotely, it looks like a lens element has become displaced. Send it to Canon, it might not be prohibitively expensive if they don't need to replace elements

Thanks guys! I have read conflicting reports about this lens, so I wanted to make sure.

I had elements drift out of whack on a 70-200L after running a couple blocks with the darn thang on a strap. The left side became really blurry. I assume the running caused something to come loose inside. Took it to Canon Hawaii and they aligned it and it was tack sharp 10 days later.

Send it back to the person you bought it from. He sold you a POS.
