Hi kagan,
Take the time to read the previous posts. As you can see, no one here has a solution yet.

Comment on Canon 24mm f/1.4L II review, on a 50D by erik

I’m glad you found it useful Dave, and congratulations with your new lens!

I think many of the challenges in dance and child photography are the same – they just don’t stand still. At f/2 you should get some benefits from a 1-stop shutter speed advantage over f/2.8, and you probably won’t have as much trouble hitting focus as with f/1.4. Still, especially when you’re up close, focusing is going to be tricky with moving subjects, and I suggest you use the 50D’s ability to crank up ISO and hi-speed continuous shooting to improve your chances. IS is not really an advantage here, because it doesn’t help with subject movement.

I use my 24mm mostly between 1.4 and 2.8, and I love it. The images somehow looks a lot better than with my 17-55, and I definitely don’t think the perspective is too extreme.

I think you’re going to love this little prime on your 50D. I keep mine on the camera most of the time, and only switch to the 17-55 if I need the ability to zoom.

Have fun!

Finally, a review from someone who was evaluating this lens specifically for a crop body! I, too, have a 50D and a 17-55 as my walkaround (and, so far, best) lens. I have two small kids (ages 5 & 3) that are the subjects in most of my photography. I have been frustrated in trying to get the elusive pop and “wow” of tack-sharp portraits with shallow DOF on the 17-55. An accomplished artistic portrait photographer told me the only way to get there is with a fast L prime. I was torn between the 35L and the 24LII, mainly because I was afraid the 24L might render a perspective a little too extreme and start giving ALL my images the same look and feel. On the other hand, my Nifty Fifty is too long to use in the house all the time, and I didn’t want to find out after spending big money on the 35L that it was still too long for indoor use on a crop body.

I won’t exactly be shooting “dancers,” but I suspect I’ll have the same challenges in shooting kids at f/1.4 as you have with dancers. I’m hoping that the focus challenge will be relieved at f/2, and the images I get at f/2 on the 24L will still be head-and-shoulders above the images I can get with the 17-55 at f/2.8, since the 24L will be stopped down and the 17-55 will be wide open. Obviously the IS comes into play here in favor of the 17-55, but I’m hoping the 24L will still be noticeably better. Given that you’ve had both for a while, what do you think?

My 24L arrives today; the UPS tracking information shows it has arrived locally and will be out for delivery soon

Sorry to hear that, but yeah, so far it doesn’t seem like a good idea to buy a locked iPhone. Better get the previous owner to unlock it before you buy it.

It would still be interesting to know if anyone has had lock unlocking an iPhone by buying a pre-paid Telia card…

Hi Adem,

I’ve had the same question asked before, but I’m afraid I don’t have a verified solution.

Someone suggested buying a (cheap) pre-paid Telia card, as a way to get a phone number to use for unlocking, but I have not heard back from the guy who suggested it, so I don’t know if it would work. Maybe you could give that a try, and let us know if it worked.
