Review Summary

I just upgraded from a Canon RF24 mm-105 mm STM lens. The difference is night and day. I can't believe the difference in the two lenses. I have taken some sample pictures with it and the clarity is amazing.

I recently purchase a Canon R5 MkII body with a EF adapter. I have a large quiver of EF lenses, including a EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II that has been used hard and put away wet. It worked fine on the R5, but I was tempted with the claimed 5 stops of image stabilization on the RF24-70mm F2.8 L IS USM. I am very happy with this new version, my most useful lens.

When I bought the lens, they offered me a price, and the invoice was higher. Also, when the lens arrived, it looked like it was in an open box. This lens looked like it had already been used. The box was torn and in poor condition. Cano lenses come with some information written on paper. This one arrived without that information, so they're selling me a lens at a different price than what they offered me, and the lens is in an open box. When you talk to them, everything is very polite at first. In the end, they'll give you anything you want.

Canon 24mm-70mm is the best lens for professional photography and videography. I got this gear with flash bundle at same price that other stores sells. Adorama is the best place to buy and they are good at customer satisfaction as I got price matched as well.

Pros: Versatile multi-purpose zoom Fast consistent f2.8 aperture Sharp, you won't be disappointed with the RF 24-70 f/2.8L.

I'm a photographer and bought an RF 24-70mm that after less than 1 year had insects inside. Although the lens is supposed to be sealed and within warranty, it is sent to be repaired, which gives me a negative response and offers me an assumption for its cleanliness. It seems ridiculous to me to pay more than 2 thousand euros for an objective supposedly sealed against the weather and after 1 year there are animals inside the objective, and I am not covered by the Canon guarantee. I leave you the video attached so that you are ashamed of the material you sell. At least Canon could have the humility of recognizing that the lenses are not sealed and therefore not worth what you pay for them, cleaning these problems at no cost was the least they had to do, for years using UNSEALED lenses from low-end brands . and I've never had a problem, now I'm inverting it on a premium lens like this one which isn't worth the inversion. I really regret buying this lens.

I purchased this lens last week and spent the weekend recreating photos I shot over the last year using the RF 50mm 1.8 STM and the RF 24-105 kit lens that came with my R6 Mark II. This is my first L lens, but there is no comparison. The sharpness and color is amazing - I am just an amateur, but the gear really can help!!

LOVE THE LENS FOR SPORTING EVENTS. I HAVEN'T USED IT FOR ANYTHING ELSE YET BUT I'M IMPRESSED WITH IT'S CLARITY. IT IS ALSO VERY SMOOTH WHEN ZOOMING.

Love it. It is now my go to lens for every day. Lightweight. I am getting used to the rings. I missed the f/2 on my other lens.

when canon first announced the rf series i took them seriously. i went and purchased an r5 with this lens and havent looked back. its fast, reliable, and tough. it does its job with no hangups and is at home in the south dakota wilderness as much as it is in a wedding in casper, wyoming. an absolute must have for the seasoned pro or person about to go pro.

I bought this to go with my R5 for travel and portrait photography. It is a great addition to my kit an day go to lens for a recent trip to Greece. Very happy with the flexibility of range of focal length and the sharpness of this lens.

I took a leap of faith buying this lens after I got a multimedia production job recently, and it has lived up to and exceeded my expectations.

This lens is a perfect match for any of Canons full frame mirrorless cameras. I use with both R5 and R6 and image quality is superb..

By far the greatest (and most expensive) lens I've ever purchased. If you're ever on the fence debating between f/4 and f/2.8..... go with f/2.8. It's worth it. My EF 24-105 f/4 fell off my camera and shattered. I replaced it with this RF 24-70 and I wish I would have changed to the 24-70 a long time ago.

Bought this lens to replace its EF counterpart. The sharpness on the new RF 24-70 is just incredible. I had my EF version for 13 years and it was a workhorse; I see no reason why this won't live in my bag just as long if not longer. Amazing glass, super fast focus and the bokeh is delicious. It certainly isn't a cheap lens, but for the professional or even semi-professional shooter, this lens will more than pay for itself in the long run. A+

I bought this Lens for my R6 MKII and it captures video and photo at an amazing range. The feature of having 2.8-22 aperture makes adjusting lighting and focal length super well! This has been the lens I use for 95% of my projects and I could not be happier with the level of quality that Canon provides with this product.

There is a reason why this glass is so expensive. This lens is so stinking sharp that my pictures look so good. Invest in good glass and you won?t regret it
Nearly perfect, only one small quibble
By Daniel
This is the essential and fantastic standard zoom lens. Super sharp, fast and great rendering. My only quibble is the AF/MF and stabilization switches are very easy to move. They don't have the same firmness as my other RF lenses, and I have found my lens inadvertently switched to no stabilization or manual focus with just light use.

A new firmware update for Autofocus (AF) with the EOS R and EOS RP cameras will soon be available. This exciting new update will offer enhanced AF functions to help you better view, track and capture subjects. The three main components are:
Eye Detection AF will be improved so you can better focus on a moving subject’s eye even if it is far away or when the face appears small in the viewfinder.
AF frame tracking is improved so there is virtually no delay between the actual focusing and when it’s displayed in the AF frame, helping you continuously track the subject and shoot comfortably.
The AF function works faster overall so even at a distance, you can capture the subject quickly.
This firmware will be available via a free download in the coming weeks. Stay tuned.
