Large and heavy compared to rivals, No image stabilization, Expensive
The 35mm F1.4L II USM is a fantastic lens from Canon. Ultra-sharp and impressively free of aberrations at all apertures and across the frame, it tops the class. Exceptional build quality raises the bar still further, but it all comes at a cost. Much cheap...

It's price, amounting to 8,000 PLN, is quite another matter. I didn't include it in the cons section because I didn't do such a thing in case of even more expensive Otus lenses. Devices which are trendsetters and are able to break resolution records shoul...
