Editorial Review: Product Description: The Zoom Lens EF24-70mm f/2.8L USM was developed as the successor to the EF28-70mm f/2.8L USM lens released in November 1993. Featuring a new optical system design, the new zoom lens delivers an expanded zoom range with a 24 mm wide-angle focal length, ideally suiting it to digital image sizes, while also maintaining or improving on the outstanding image quality of the superseded model.Moreover, the power of the focusing lens group has been increased to allow a minimum focusing distance of just 0.38 meters, the shortest in its class at the time, throughout the entire zoom range. The new EF24-70mm f/2.8L USM also features a circular diaphragm, to give better background blur, and utilizes only lead-free glass optics in consideration of the environment. Amazon.com Product Description: The Canon EF 24-70mm standard zoom lens does what many pros thought couldn't be done--it replaces the L-series 28-70mm f/2.8 lens with something even better. The lens offers extended coverage to an ultra-wide-angle 24mm, making it ideal for digital as well as film shooters. The new processing unit, meanwhile, makes the autofocus (AF) faster than ever. And thanks to the two aspherical elements and a totally new UD glass element, the optics are far superior to the earlier lens. Sealed and gasketed against dust and moisture, the EF 24-70mm lens carries a one-year warranty.
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - If you could only have one Canon lens, this is it.This is my favorite Canon lens. It is sharp at both 24 and 70, and its fast F/2.8 aperture makes for excellent shots in low light, and creamy Bokeh. The zoom is smooth except for a tiny hitch in its linearity at 24MM. I understand this is due to the shape of the cam in the zoom mechanism. The positive is that the lens doesn't "creep" like the 24-105 F/4 IS USM. Also - when you are at 24MM, the lens is fully extended; at 70 it is retracted. This makes for a large lens hood, but it ...

When I first tried it out in a shop I was amazed at the fast focus and that was using a 30D! Of course I also was amazed at the weight but you have to have that weight with glass of this quality! Its aptly nicknamed "the brick" for a reason. It is not a lightweight set-up to carry around but its not impossible to deal with. The focus with my 1D is fast and accurate, its aperture is wide enough ...

Rating:  - Not as good as it should have beenI bought this after trying the Sigma and have since returned the Canon to get another copy... The lens back focused between 24-50mm but was very sharp out to 70mm. I'm looking to get my next copy locally so that I can swap until I find a sharp version. Maybe the 50D lens focus tweaking will fix this!! Rating: - This is it!Put it on my EOS 450D as my standard lens. Incredibly sharp, bright colors and dimensions better than theSigma lens I used before. Same techniques being used - my pictures look significantly better! |
