How does it compare to the Canon 24L F1.4 regarding rendering, color, and sharpness?

Have you ever used that lens?

I've had both lenses and in comparison, the 28mm is absolute junk.

At more than 3x the price, I would hope the 24L outperforms the 28 f/1.8. I think the question is does 3x the price equal 3x the performance?

You ask the wrong question.  Its not about $$, 3 times better, etc.

Its about quality.

Let me put it this way, if you paid $10 for the 28mm, that was a bad deal for you because the quality is horrible.  No value, bad deal.

Now if you paid $1,300 for a used in excellent condition 24L, that would be a HUGE BARGAIN, a GREAT DEAL.  Because the quality is supreme, optics are fantastic.

Just because something cost a lot less does not mean it provides value, or is a good bargain.

Can you get your $$ back??
