At some stage this year I'm going to make the hyperspatial jump to full-frame(maybe hanging around till August-ish to see what happens, whereupon it may be the 5D). I mention this as I realise that there may well be comments on edge definition in any replies.
Do any of you have experience of any of these Canon EF lenses, please: 24mm f2.8; 24mm f1.4L; 20mm f2.8?
I'm immersed in many a review, but confess to finding MTF charts difficult to understand. I can find many a comment, yet not much on a direct head-to-head between the 3.
What I'm looking for in terms of comment is pretty much anything by way of your personal hands-on experience, particularly degree of edge fall-off through the apertures...I'm really interested in comments on quality of glass/definition/resolution of course: yes, I can anticipate depth of field as regards the "L" lens...but , say, does this really warrant 3 times the expense if we're looking at from f5.6 to f16, d'you think? Does the 20mm hold up better in terms of definition than either of the others at any aperture?
Rufus? Noisy Noodle? Irma? Chris? Jules?
I'd really value your thoughts.
