"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey what's up guys this is Marquez from the MKBHD Channel back with a video review of the Canon 24mm f1.4 lens Mark I now let me start off with this this lens retails for $1,600 I didn't pay ,600 for this lens and it's not for any other illegal reasons I actually got this lens courtesy of borrow lenses.com you can check out their Link in the description their service actually allows you to rent the lens just like a library book they'll ship it to you and they'll give you a return shipping label and you can have this lens for a week for under 100 bucks so if you want to check their service out that's down below let's go ah and take a look at this amazing lens now like I mentioned before this is the mark 2 version of this lens there was a Mark 1 version and this Mark 2 version actually offers improved image quality so as you can see you're looking at test footage of it right now and uh it is looking pretty sharp if I might say myself now something you need to know about this lens is that it's kind of big and it's a little bit heavy it actually weighs more than the Canon T2i that I'm filming with itself now this might be nice in terms of balance the way you're carrying it or the way you hold it when you shoot uh but it's it's good to know that this lens is actually really really big in fact it dwarfs the kit lens that comes with the Canon T2i that uh 18 to 55 mm plastic kit lens it definitely DWS that lens and this is just a 24 mil not that it's compensating for anything at all come on well this lens is good at everything L lenses should be good at so the barrel is made of a high quality material material the contacts where it connects with the camera are made of metal and it has a very very very high quality glass inside uh that and it also comes with this massive lens Hood I don't know if you knew but all L lenses actually come with a lens Hood so that's pretty convenient this lens is so gigantic and so wide at 24 mm that the glass inside you can see is actually a little bit curved uh and in order to get that fullframe effect now Distortion has always been an issue for wide angle lenses but I found that on my crop sensor T2i I really don't get any Distortion at all now autofocus autofocus on this lens is absurdly good uh the ultrasonic motor on all the L lenses are fantastic quality they're silent and they're Tac sharp at just about any exposure and uh if you do want to do video and do selective manual focusing the focus ring is actually really smooth as well I was enjoying the feel of the focus ring uh especially when doing sort of a in cinematic panoram shots and all crazy things with the focus that I do so that that definitely helped that it was really easy to manipulate overall this lens is really good for a YouTuber to rent because number one it's a wideangle lens so I can sit here in my room and almost be able to touch the camera and it appears that it's a pretty wide angle so great for indoors and number two this is an f1.4 lens it lets in a massive amount of light the iris is absolutely gigantic and it's high quality glass so you're going to be able to get in uh in dim situations and shoot with still a shallow depth of field I absolutely love shooting at f1.4 I reviewed a Sigma lens at f1.4 not too long ago you can check that out and I like this lens for just the same reason absolutely excellent wide aperture you can even film like I am right now with no studio lights so what would I rate this lens out of 10 well for image quality this gets a 9 out of 10 only because it does get a little bit soft at wide angles and on a fullframe body this will be a tiny bit distorted uh build quality gets a 10 out of 10 so overall this lens gets a 9 and A2 I'd say this is really close to what you'd get for the price the price you pay if you pay full price isn't really worth it but borrowing this lens you're definitely going to be impressed with the quality you get out of it if you're looking for more video quality tests of this 24mm f1.4 L Series lens besides the one you're watching right now you can also view a pair of links I'll throw right here of videos that I've shot with this lens as well so definitely great quality lens I can't say quality I've said this is a great quality lens like 12 times in this video but you get the point thanks for watching this video review guys and uh I'll talk to you guys in the next one MKBHD signing out peace whathey what's up guys this is Marquez from the MKBHD Channel back with a video review of the Canon 24mm f1.4
