Lens Review - Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L USM

Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L USM features 35mm at focal length with maximum aperture of F/1.4. The lens construction has 11 elements in 9 groups and has diagonal angle of view at 63°. Focus adjustment: Rear focusing system with USM, Closest focusing distance at 0.3m/1 ft and has a filter size of 72mm. The Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L USM lens weighs 20.5 Ounces and it measures 3.1 inches in diameter and 3 inches long.

SLRGear reviews the Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L USM and writes;
“Chromatic aberration is modest, geometric distortion is low, at only 0.26% barrel distortion, and even shading (more commonly called vignetting) isn’t too bad, at 0.44 EV, once again decreasing rapidly as you stop down, dropping to less than 1/10 EV from f/2.8 onward..”
Rating: ★★★★★
Lenstip reviews the Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L USM and writes;
“Canon EF 35 mm f/1.4L USM, as befits a professional top range lens, is equipped with a quick, silent ultrasonic motor. It is exactly as it should be – it works noiselessly and with lightning speed as it needs less than 0.5 second to travel from the minimum focus to infinity. The accuracy is also very good. In the studio we got a 4% margin of error on both bodies. What’s interesting, we noticed a very slight but nonetheless perceptible tendency to frontfocus by f/1.4.”
rating: N/A
Ephotozine reviews the Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L USM and writes;
“As you would expect from a prime lens, especially one with Canon’s famous L suffix, the optical performance was good. You will see from the chart that a gentle curve is achieved with no wild jumps from one stop to the next, always the sign of a well-produced lens. “
rating: N/A
SLRLensreview reviews the Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L USM and writes;
“In the f/1.4-f/2 range border performance is pretty mediocre, but by f/2.8 it reaches more or less decent levels and by f/5.6 becomes exceptionally good. Center performance, on the other hand, is very solid straight from f/1.4.”
rating: N/A
Wlcastleman reviews the Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L USM and writes;
“The EF 35mm f/1.4 L lens has significantly better sharpness (resolution and MTF) from f/2 to f/4 than the EF 35mm f/2 lens. Corner sharpness is very good if stopped down. The EF 35mm f/1.4 L is an excellent fast lens for wide field astrophotography and performs optimally at f/2.8. It is also a fast focusing lens when used for general photographic purpose. Performance is excellent at f/2 for non-astro photography.”
rating: N/A
Photozone reviews the Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L USM and writes;
“the resolution figures are exceptional and among the best tested so far. Typical for ultra-large aperture lenses vignetting is a little on the high side at wide-open aperture even on an APS-C DSLR but the issue remains correctable via imaging tools and stopping helps to resolves the issue if needed. “
Rating: ★★★★☆
The-digital-picture reviews the Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L USM and writes;
“Low available light portraits and other similar casual and formal shots are probably the use for which the Canon EF 35mm f/1.4 L USM Lens’ shines brightest. Shooting under available light indoors after dark with the camera handheld is usually possible with this lens. The relatively wide focal length paired with a very fast f/1.4 aperture makes the Canon EF 35mm f/1.4 L USM Lens a very good handheld indoor (without flash) lens. “
Rating: ★★★★★

Will the next smartphones measure in ultrapixels?

Will the next smartphones measure in ultrapixels?
dpreview.com reviewed the HTC One X last year. The Taiwanese hardware maker is expected to announce groundbreaking mobile photography technology at its press event in New York City on February 19.

If early tech blog reports ring true, HTC's much-anticpated "M7" smartphone, expected to be revealed at press events to be held in New York City and London on February 19, may seriously be worth the excitement.
According to Pocket-lint, HTC will forgo a previously-speculated (and presumably conventional) 13-megapixel sensor for three, 4.3MP sensors to achieve a stacked "ultrapixel" sensor.
Although we don't know what this means  - sensors aren't transparent, so you can't simply 'stack' three on top of one another - it is just possible that HTC is planning on using a sensor similar to the Foveon  imagers used in Sigma's line of DSLRs and large-sensor compact cameras. While traditional Bayer sensors work by capturing information for just one color (red, green or blue) at each pixel location, and then interpolating that data to make true color, in a Foveon sensor, every pixel captures a true color because the red, green and blue filters are stacked above the light-gathering photodiodes.
