What can I say? It's one of the best lenses Canon makes. I resisted buying it but now I'm so glad I did. I use it on a 40D and the focal length is fine. It's super sharp.

This lens is permanently fixed to one of my 1DMkIII cameras because it's the perfect focal length for most general situations. This lens is super-sharp and super-fast. One of the best lens in my bag.

I do landscape photography with my Canon 40D. This lens is absolutely perfect. The color and DOF is insane. I am convinced this lens was given to us by aliens. Just buy one, you will not be disappointed. You cannot beat the L glass. Best. Lens. Ever.
The Canon "Bokeh King" January 16, 2008

Some of you may know about the 35mm Leica lens that was dubbed the "Bokeh King" for the wonderfully pleasant quality of bokeh that it created. This lens very much reminds me of it. Achieving bokeh is done with many lenses. Achieving that special "wow" bokeh is only achieved with an elite few. I believe this lens is a member of that elite few. It is professional looking and artistic looking at once. Easily controllable; automatically just the right amount and character in every shot. Just purely brilliant bokeh. I also own the 135mm f/2L which also receives high praise for its bokeh but in my opinion it is not as good as this lens. More bokeh doesn't necessarily mean best bokeh. It is the quality of the bokeh. This lens truly possesses that special quality. Alright, enough about the bokeh. br / br /Sharpness? Of course it is razor sharp. It better be for this price. I just expected that. If your's isn't then you need to return it for another one. br / br /Low-light performance? The best I have experienced from any Canon lens, and I have owned several professional and/or low-light Canon lenses. br / br /I sold my awesome 24-70mm lens to get this lens and I took a leap of faith in doing so. It looks as if I made a good decision. I do so because the 24-70 is too heavy and unwieldy and the f/2.8 of the lens is not good for indoors without a flash. Plus, 35mm was the focal length I was using most. Again I am very happy I did so. This lens was everything I hoped it would be and more. I don't see it coming off the 5D for a long while. br / br /This is one of the best kept secrets in Canon "L" lenses. I can't understand why this lens gets so little attention. I guess it is because everyone favors the convenience of Zoom lenses. This is bar none the best Canon lens I have ever owned. I can't wait for it's first wedding which is in a few weeks.
35L color is excellent !! November 10, 2007
