Canon's finest 35mm with revolutionary BR optics, reference-grade f/1.4L II eliminating colour fringing.
The Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L II USM is Canon's premium wide-angle prime with BR (Blue Spectrum Refractive) optics technology that virtually eliminates colour fringing — a revolutionary optical element unique to Canon. The L II dramatically improved on the legendary original L with reference-grade sharpness.
The BR optics element is Canon's answer to apochromatic correction, using a specialised refractive element that bends blue light differently to eliminate lateral chromatic aberration. The result is extraordinary colour accuracy and edge-to-edge sharpness from f/1.4 that the original L could not achieve.
Build quality is Canon L-series professional with comprehensive weather sealing and the ring-type USM providing fast, silent autofocus. The 35mm f/1.4 is the essential wide-angle prime for Canon professionals, and the L II provides the definitive optical performance.
The Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L II commands strong prices as Canon's finest 35mm with revolutionary BR optics. The chromatic aberration correction provides rendering purity that approaches Leica APO lenses at significantly lower pricing.
