UPDATE
The forum will be moving to a new domain in the near future (canonrumorsforum.com). I have turned off "read-only", but I will only leave the two forum nodes you see active for the time being. I don't know at this time how quickly the change will happen, but that will move at a good pace I am sure. ------------------------------------------------------------
Re: Canon EF 24mm f/1.4 II L USM
A recent acquisition for a trip to Norway to see the northern lights, it blows my 24-105 out of the water even more than I expected. I haven't made use of the wide aperture beyond the northern lights yet though.

I finally got out with the camera again and concentrated on using this lens.

Re: Canon EF 24mm f/1.4 II L USM
Used this lens on my recent visit to a car show. I also like this lens for candid portrait. The large DOF even at small aperture can be very useful on a FF - on the playroom picture with any other of my lens the ball in front of the face would have been blurred because it was shot at f3.2!

Re: Canon EF 24mm f/1.4 II L USM
Nice photos.
Can I ask something about the northen lights photo?
You mentioned in flickr that it isn't very sharp. Was this due to focusing?
All Canon lenses focus beyond infinite and when I take a night sky picture I try to
focus on a bright star using the center point. Sometimes it works some not but
lately I use my manual focus 21mm Zeiss. Infinite is infinite.
However if focusing is correct and you see star trails this is normal if you shoot
with a shutter open more seconds than stated in the following formula:
(500 to 600) / focal length. For a 24mm this is 20 to 30 sec tops. Beyond that the
startrails are obvious.
Also if the trees look blurry it could probably be attributed to wind.
Anyway I meant to say that there is a probability that a little blurrying couldn't have been avoided. You still must feel lucky. I wish I were there but it is almost impossible.
Congratulations anyway.
