Last weekend I rented the Canon 24mm f/1.4 L lens. This was the last lens I wanted to rent before making my decision on what lenses to purchase next. The 24L pretty much made up my mind and I’ve decided to go with that and the 35L. I get them today in the mail so I’m pretty excited. Going to have a lot more options in my camera bag now so look for new types of shots from me, a lot more wide shots that’s for sure 
. I have a 24-70mm lens so I already have that range but I find I’m not as happy with shots from my zoom lenses compared to primes. I find primes to be much sharper in image quality, have better colors, better bokeh (blurring in the background), and with the L lenses almost give you this 3D like quality to the photos (which probably is in part to the bokeh).
To try out the lens I shot with Liam on Saturday. We went up to Powell Butte which is located off of 162 and Powell in SE Portland. It’s a little bit of a drive but it’s definitely worth it. It’s an amazing place to take photos. Below are a couple photos from the shoot:

the 24 1.4L is great. you can actually adjust it to a 20 1.4L by changing toe fissation factor by 7. go to b and h. they are able to do this.

I wasn’t aware you can do this to the 24mm 1.4L and I can’t find any info on the web about it.
