Digital camera reviews of Canon EF 24mm f/1.4 L USM II Wide Angle Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras
Digital camera Review: Focus Problem
Summary: 3 Stars
Well I really wanted to love this lens. I can not get it to focus consistently with the focus sensor on my T2i. It does however focus perfectly with live View but I do not use this mode. I have read many reviews about this lens and either it is perfect with some moderate sharpness loss at wide open. The problem is the 20% of the people like me who have this focus problem. Just go to the Canon web site and read for yourself.
I do not know if my camera is defective or both lenses are but I do not want to keep a $1600 lens while I send my camera in to be checked. I have 6 other lenses that do not have this problem but I do not have another f/1:4 either. I am having my friend bring his camera tomorrow to test the lens so I will update the review if this changes my opinion.
I have spent hours testing this lens with Canon tech support with the final verdict being send it back.
UPDATE
I have now tried it on a 5D mark II and it works perfectly. I have also tried it on 2 other T2i's and one is as bad as mine and one is closer but not perfect.
the decision is to send it back. Canon offered to calibrate the camera with the lens but then I am stuck with the lens if I am not happy.
