The Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L II USM Lens

I've been grabbing this lens for use around the house, capturing those moments that just naturally show up – such as Brittany unwinding with the dog.

The EF 35mm f/1.4L II USM from Canon is an L-series prime wide-angle lens featuring Blue Spectrum Refractive Optics and a maximum aperture of f/1.4, making it ideal for shooting in low-light situations and for controlling depth of field. Two aspherical elements and one Ultra Low Dispersion (UD) element combine with the BR element to control chromatic aberrations and color fringing for increased clarity and sharpness. A Subwavelength Coating has also been applied to reduce ghosting and lens flare for greater color accuracy and contrast. The Ultrasonic autofocus motor (USM) provides fast and near-silent AF operation. Full time manual focus override enables precise manual focus even when in AF mode.

This is an amazing lens for sharpness across the frame - you can absolutely see it crystal clear with a 5DSR. This lens is great for portraits, street photography, and landscapes. Pictures are so sharp that you can crop without impacting the shot when you is shooting too wide for what you ideally want. This lens is almost always on my camera now.

I am so happy to have it, I would recommend it to you.
