Beast of a lens
I rented this lens before buying and fell in love with it. It's easily my favorite lens in my kit. I'm not a pro by any means but this lens just takes the cleanest and tack sharp photos. Highly recommend if you're in the market for a 35mm fixed.

Amazing
This is the best lens I have ever used. I owned a Nikon D750 and I switched over to Canon just for this lens, I know.. crazy right? The sharpness and the depth of field is amazing. I love the low light capabilities and the focusing is much better than my Nikon/sigma. I’ve been really impressed with it. Don’t second guess yourself and buy this lens!

Great Lens
I bought this a few months ago but because of a combo of bad weather and some illnesses, I haven't gotten to use it that much. However, the few times I did the lens exceeded my expectations. One use: I took pre-race photos of a 10K and it gave me some of the best group and indoor shots I have ever taken with my 5D. I switched to a telephoto for the action shots outdoors but I probably would have done just as well with this lens.

Wow -Stunning
I had been taking a 24-105 F4 and also a 16-35mm for portrait and landscape shots. While the 24-105 F4 is an excellent lens at 35mm, the 16-35mm II @ 35mm just didn't cut the mustard even with profile correction. After reading many reviews and seeking out lens align test shots, the 35mm 1.4 II came into view. This is one serious lens. Super fast, sharp, excellent bokeh and a superior portrait/landscape lens all in this one prime.

Very sharp lens
I use it mainly for indoor shooting for my cat. Its image is super sharp and you can see very single piece of hair of my cat. Impressive.

Super sharp for street photography and landscapes
I used this in Portugal for landscape and street photography with 5D MkIII. I am extremely happy with the sharpness, speed of auto focus, and low-light abilities. The lens hood is each to attach and reverses for storage. I especially like the lens cap improvement with center squeeze so you don't get fingertips on the glass.

I love it!
I bought this lens after I bought the Sigma 1.4 Art. I loved the images I was getting with the Sigma in terms of the quality of the focal range and color -- everything really. EXCEPT, I was using it primarily in very low light and was having consistent issues with Auto-Focus in low light wide open. I traded it back in and spent double to buy this lens. It is much better focusing in the low light for me.

Pretty great, almost perfect
I am a big fan of Canon gear, but I'm not completely sold on their wider angle prime lenses, due to sharpness and other image quality issues. I own this lens and it steps up the bar for canon. My sharpest Canon lens seems to be the 135 f2 L, which has pretty much no visible CA, and crazy sharpness. The 85mm L is also pretty amazingly sharp. This lens is worth it. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for the 50mm L. The Sigma beats it on image quality and price. My tests are with a 5DSR, so it's really pushing the detail envelope.
