Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L II USM Lens

Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L II USM Lens
The Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L II USM is a legendary, professional-grade wide-angle prime lens designed for full-frame Canon EF-mount DSLRs (and serves as an excellent 56mm equivalent optic on APS-C bodies). As a flagship entry in Canon’s elite L-series luxury lineup, this lens debuted groundbreaking Blue Spectrum Refractive Optics to achieve an unprecedented level of chromatic correction. Combining an ultra-fast f/1.4 maximum aperture, lightning-fast autofocus, and heavy-duty weather sealing, it is a definitive tool for photojournalists, wedding documentarians, portraitists, and fine-art photographers demanding optical perfection.

Groundbreaking BR Optics & Elite Lens Elements
Blue Spectrum Refractive (BR) Optics: Features Canon’s proprietary organic optical material strategically sandwiched between glass elements. The BR lens element specifically refracts shorter wavelengths of the visible spectrum (blue light), virtually eliminating severe color fringing and chromatic aberrations that traditionally plague wide-aperture lenses.

Bright f/1.4 Maximum Aperture: The exceptionally fast f/1.4 aperture excels in low-light environments, allowing you to maintain fast shutter speeds while granting significant, razor-thin control over your depth of field.

Aspherical & UD Glass Configuration: The sophisticated optical design incorporates a pair of aspherical elements and one Ultra-Low Dispersion (UD) element to aggressively suppress geometric distortion, astigmatism, and spherical aberrations for uniform center-to-edge resolution.

Subwavelength Structure Coating (SWC): Individual glass elements are treated with an advanced anti-reflective Subwavelength Coating to minimize internal reflections, lens flare, and ghosting. This guarantees deep image contrast and strict color fidelity, even when shooting directly into harsh backlighting.

9-Blade Rounded Diaphragm: Outfitted with a rounded nine-blade aperture structure to deliver a smooth, circular, and incredibly elegant background blur (bokeh) when employing selective focus techniques.

Ultrasonic AF Track Mechanics & Pro Field Durability
Ring-Type Ultrasonic Motor (USM): Driven by a powerful ring-type USM and an optimized focusing algorithm to deliver rapid, dead-accurate, and near-silent autofocus tracking.

Full-Time Manual Focus Override: The mechanical design permits full-time manual focus override, letting you override the autofocus system and make fine manual tuning adjustments instantly simply by turning the focus ring.

L-Series Environmental Weather Sealing: Engineered to withstand rigorous professional field utilization in inclement weather, the physical chassis is extensively sealed against dust intrusion and moisture penetration.

Protective Fluorine Coatings: Exposed front and rear lens elements are treated with a specialized non-stick fluorine coating that resists oils, smudging, and fingerprints, making the glass significantly easier to wipe clean.

Condition Note
Missing Lens Hood: This lens is being sold without its original plastic lens hood. It includes the front and rear lens caps, and the lens itself is fully operational, delivering immaculate, razor-sharp optical performance across all aperture values.
