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ideally suiting it to digital image sizes, while also maintaining or improving on the outstanding image quality of the superseded model.Moreover, the power of the focusing lens group has been increased to allow a minimum focusing distance of just 0.38 meters, the shortest in its class at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. Discount Shopping 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.

 Rating:  - Budding Enthusiast's POVI just received this lens. I am moving up from a Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM lens, which is the lens I bought with the body of my Xsi. This is my first DSLR, and got into it about 6 months ago with the birth of my first child. Since then I have been steadily getting better, fumbling my way into taking better pictures. After six months of taking about 5,000 pictures, I am now confident I can take technically correct pictures ( I learn the hard way). I decided I wanted to see what all the ... Read More Rating:  - Quality lens, quality resultsI ordered the new Canon 5D Mark II and the 24-70mm f:2.8L to arrive the day before Christmas (2008) and I was not disappointed as they arrived within about 30 minutes of each other. I was excited as I unpacked both and couldn't wait for the battery to charge. My other camera gear wasn't around so I didn't have a flash so my first pictures were an experiment in using the high iso settings on the 5DMKII. This is my first L glass, so I wasn't sure what to expect but I was amazed at the lens fast focusing ... Read More Rating: - Awesome lensI was increasing disappointed with the quality of my pictures from my 30D and the 18-55 non-IS kit lens. I shot RAW only and had to adjust every picture to get close to what I wanted but could never seem to get what I expected. I have now had the 24-70/2.8L for several months and I'm loving it. Contrasts are so well handled. I don't have to fight my pics on the computer; now I can only minor touch up some levels and my pics come out awesome. It is a bit heavy (making the whole thing especially ... Read More Rating: - most used lens in my bag!The lens can be found on my camera 80% of the time. As a wedding photographer the range is great for tight spaces where brides get ready and reception shots. The 2.8 aperture is great and where I keep it most of the time. Why a 4 instead of 5? Does need to be serviced at least once a year to keep focusing sharp. Canon factory repair can service it no problem and then it focus' beautifully. Before I send it in I notice it back focusing. Rating: - Very nice images, but heavyI picked up this lens along with a 40D for my wife. I did research for months and talked to every one I knew about what lens to buy. I finally settled on the 24-70 2.8L mainly because of the volumes glowing praise for the quality of images it would take. the good: The reviews are right, the pics are breath-taking. After just a few weeks of dinking around with the camera my wife is taking shots of our kids on par with what we get at the local semi-pro photographer studio. We also have some ...
