Today Canon introduced the new EF 35mm f/1.4L II USM – a long anticipated fast prime. Canon also introduced to the U.S. market the already announced EOS M3 mirrorless camera and two new lenses.
Larry Becker from Kely One and B&H gave a quick specs tour on the announcements from Canon in the top video, what he didn’t mention is the pricing and as you can see below the new Canon 35mm is going to be pricey – especially when you consider that very good and much cheaper alternative from Sigma.
Here are the main specs for the lens:
- EF Mount (L-Series Lens) with Full-Frame coverage.
- Aperture Range: f/1.4-22.
