Hi all,

I've owned 2 copies of the Canon 28 1.8 and wasn't very satisfied with it. I sold them both and don't have a fast wide angle prime now.

I am interested in the 24 1.4 and wonder if the Mark II is worth twice the price or not.

I will be using it for weddings mostly.

The sharpness is decent but not outstanding on the II at 1.4 (at least the copy I own). I never owned the first version though.

The Sigma 24/1.4 is reported to be sharper but has no weather sealing. You may wish to investigate this lens as well.

What did you not like about the 28 1.8?

About the 24, here is an older discussion:

I've used both. I eventually sold the II and went back to the I. Sure the II is better and a bit sharper, but if you only use it occasionally, then the I will be good enough.
