It's a really nice lens. Once you start using it, the cost of the lens is somehow justified and the blow is softened

Sorry, I don't condone the pixel peeping of my shots, that usually ends up in arguments...you'll just have to trust me on this one.

Yes, Sir! Though, it's kind of taken a back seat since I just received this 24/1.4

Everyone has their reasons for or against this lens and it's definitely not a lens for everyone. I for one see the benefits and value of it for shooting weddings

The lens I would keep would be a 35mm 1.4 AF
the 24 for the type of photography that I like would not help me at all
I do mostly candid shots inside bars and cafes in spain and for that the 35mm1.4AF
would be just perfect.
I am now using the 58mm 1.2 but it is not AF and not easy to focus
the regular 50mm1.4 works fine also
Today I took the 24mm back to B&H so at least they have one now....!

Ahhh man, 24mm would be great for candids, especially indoors. I have a feeling you're going to really miss that lens

I too will be getting the 35/1.4 if and when it's released.....then I think maybe the sigma 85/1.4....... And then......it's never ending...sigh

Good as it gets

I guess I'll post another shot since I am the only one that seems to have this lens. Maybe everyone is out trying to get that million dollar shot with theirs?

I'd love to see how well this lens shows stars at full aperture and the corners.

I really think the 24-70 is about 85% of a 24/1.4, missing only the extra stops and better distortion control. Otherwise, it's right there, particularly in sharpness.

85%? I am curious, how did you come up with that number? Only the extra stops is what people want...it is that simple.
