In our SQF tests, sharpness and contrast rose to the mid-Excellent range at all apertures and magnifications. Compared with its predecessor, this was a drastic improvement, especially at maximum aperture, where sharpness increased to 93.46% from 74.1% at 11x14 inches.

The Canon 24mm ƒ/1.4L II USM is an excellent lens, with only two reservations, both relating to the lens' usage on full-frame bodies. The first is some corner softness when used at wide apertures; the second is substantial corner shading, upwards of two stops when used wide open.

The Canon EF 24mm f/1.4 L II USM Lens is a bit soft (not sharp) wide open at f/1.4 - and f/1.4 performance does not look nearly as good when compared to f/2.8 results. The 24 L II steadily increases in sharpness from f/1.4 until becoming razor sharp around f/2.8. Corner sharpness is especially good for a 24mm wide angle lens.
