Ryan: Very good all-around lens for my 60D. If you can only have one lens, this might be the one. Fast aperture + solid build + fast silent AF makes it worth the price. I would have given this 5 stars except that belongs to the new Sigma 35mm f1.4 DG HSM which has currently become the better option.

Jarama: If there is a such thing as a "perfect" lens for a crop sensor camera, this has to be it. I like to shoot wide, so I initially rented the 24mm 1.4L. That is a great lens as well, but I often found the need to get closer than was optimal in some situations. I've read how a 50mm lens was the standard go to lens for photographers before zooms became prevalent, and shooting with this lens let's you understand why. Since it almost perfectly matches your normal field of view, once you mentally start to compose a shot you see with your eyes, there is almost no adjustment needed once you bring the camera up to your face. I rented the lens for 5 days and I honestly can't think of a single shot that I couldn't make work. It's such a natural way of shooting that I didn't miss my wide angle at all. It's an L prime, so you know it's sharp and contrasty with great color capture, but this focus length is the star for me...

Charles: I rented this lens along with the 85LII to add a few fast primes to my current kit of 24-70L and 70-200 2.8L for a wedding I was shooting with a friend. My bodies are the 7d and 5d. The 35L is a great normal focal length lens on the crop 7d, but it is phenomenal on the full-frame 5d. The image quality with the center sharpness, natural vignetting, short depth-of-field and gorgeous bokeh simply blew away anything I've ever seen. It was hard to send this lens back after shooting a couple thousand photos with it...more than taken with all of my other lens-body combos combined. This is a bargain rental from Borrowlenses and the best lens I have ever used. You won't be disappointed.

Money: Loving this lens folks. I used it for some cooking demos and restaurant shots (video & stills), instantly improved my production value regardless of my (prior) inexperience using a DSLR (Canon T3i). I shot outside under the sun, at night, inside, under kitchen lights, with softboxes - very versatile indeed.

Colleen: This L-series lens produces great, lifelike images at its 35mm length with rich color. The 1.4 aperture produces gorgeous bokeh and is amazing for portraits. I'm personally a fan of prime lenses and think that they tend to produce sharper, crisper images, so this one is a must have for me!

brooke: This is one of my favorite Canon lenses! It is super fast and the images that it produces are so crisp. It definitely lives up to the L Series name. It is the perfect focal length for those wide shots, without any warping on the edges that other wide angles can get. This is one of my MUST have lenses for shooting a wedding!
