24mm F/1.4 II vs new 24mm F/2.8 IS

(1/4) > >>

EvilTed:
Any thoughts or reviews on how the new 24mm F/2.8 with IS stacks up against the 24mm F/1.4L.

Seems a tad like the 24-105 F/4 w IS vs. the  24-70 2.8.

Thoughts?

Do you mean the 24 1.4L II? It's better than the 24 2.8 at all apertures and is 2 stops faster. The 24 w/ IS is probably only a better choice for videographers or prime shooters on a budget.

Now if only they'd refresh the 28 1.8, it has the most horrific IQ of any lens I've ever used. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if Canon only keeps that lens around to torture people into buying the 24 1.4. Well, it's a good marketing strategy, as I'm order my 24 1.4 tomorrow :P

M.ST:
The Canon EF 24mm f/1.4L II performs very well and is better then the EF 24 2.8 L. You dont need IS.

The EF 24-70 2.8 II L is a bing step forward and leaves the 24-105 far behind. The EF 24-70 2.8 II L focusses very quick, has minimal distortion and produces sharp line without visible CA.
