    Excellent Sharp Zoom

    I have only 2 zooms and this is 1 of them. I currently use all Canon DSLRS. The lens is extremely fast, sharp and renders a beautiful image file in RAW.

    Good lens

    good lens. I have only used it a few times. Once for a swim meet and once for a boys high school basketball game. It did not focus as fast as I needed during basketball but otherwise a good lens.

    All around favorite

    I love love love this lens! My old one wasn't pulling sharp focus and the pictures were more like a soft focus. This lens replaced that one and is amazing! As a pro photographer I use this lens all the time so quality is utmost in my mind. Thank goodness I found a new one! Def buy it and use it all year round!

    Super sharp EF lens on Canon R5

    The EF Canon 24-60 2.8 Mk II lens is a very sharp lens with excellent contrast and is reasonably fast. I've tried the RF version but frankly dis not see enough improvement to justify a change. The In body stabilization in the R5 works wonders with this lens. I did have a Tamron 24-70 with stabilization before buying this Canon. For whatever reason, the Tamron's stabilization did not work properly for me on the R5. Also the Tamron had a different color balance compared to my other Canon lenses. If you have both DSLR bodies and R bodies like the R5 or R6, this is a superb all around lens.

    I am very happy with the product. I received a good lens. My only gripe is that it was dirty. Other than that, It was plug an play! I am very pleased, Thank you Adorama!

    Dysfunctional lens

    This lens is supposed to be brand new but it does not work. My wife has been trying for months thinking it's just settings but a professional has just said it's dysfunctional. Hoping to get money back

    Canon 24-70 f2.8L III. A staple in any kit

    This is marvelous mid focal length. Sharp and fast! I've had this lens before, it was on my list to get as soon as I could.

    Great everyday lens

    Great everyday lens. I bought this to replace my original lens (Mark I) with this second generation version when a problem developed on the original lens after 20 years and thousands of shots. The second generation appears to be as sharp and a little bit lighter (which is nice).

    What can you say about your favorite lens? It was my favorite on my Canon 90d and now it is my favorite (with adapter) on my R7.

    Couldn't recommend a lens enough!

    As per the title, I couldn't recommend a lens enough. I take a lot of portraits and sports photography shots, and needed a very diverse lens. I take almost all my pictures with this lens and while I wish this lens had a lower f-stop such as 1.4 or 1.8, I still love the ability to zoom while getting a good bokeh in my photos. Seriously such a good price and investment for such a diverse lens! literally my favorite in my gear collection!

    Amazing Lens, Brought Out The Best of My Camera

    I've been using the EF 24-70mm f/2.8 II USM for about 18 months, paired with my full-frame 6D Mark II. The lens takes wonderful shots, both portrait and scenic. Wide aperture helps with low-light shooting.

    Sharpest lens I have ever owned.

    This is the sharpest lens I have every owned. Expensive and heavy, but the best quality gear is expensive. DSLRs are all heavy because they have complicated mechanics. They are also large, but I have big hands and big DSLRs are easier for me to handle.

    A must-have lens

    This lens sits right in the middle of the Holy Trinity of lenses. I never leave without it in my bag and it's surprisingly sharp at all zoom settings. I shoot a lot of live music and this lens is always on one of my bodies.

    Workhorse lens

    This is my go to workhorse lens for events and weddings. Clear and sharp, it takes beautiful images. I had the previous generation lens for over 15 years, and it was time to replace it. I'm very happy with the new generation II lens.

    This is a FANTASTIC all around lens! Perfect amount of zoom for the weight of it, which is pretty light:) I use mine with a RED Komodo and it is a perfect B-roll lens! This is the Go to lens for a lot of people and I am no different!

    Great lens. Very Sharp, but over priced and no IS. I'm considering going third-party lenses. I cannot imagine the PRICE of the future 24-70 F2.8 L USM "IS" "I" or "II" when it comes out. Make the lenses more affordable so people won't go anywhere else to get them. You are loosing big time on this issue!

    Are you in search of a high-performance lens that can handle a diverse range of professional photography assignments Look no further than the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM Lens. This standard zoom lens for DSLRs has been meticulously redesigned to surpass the rigorous expectations of professional photographers.

    The Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM Lens boasts an enhanced optical performance, courtesy of a new Super UD lens element and a pair of UD elements. These are specifically engineered to minimize chromatic aberrations along the edges and corners when shooting at wide angles.

    This lens features optimized lens coatings that significantly reduce color blur and ghosting. The resulting images offer exceptional color and contrast, making this lens versatile enough to meet the demands of nearly any assignment.

    Key features of the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM Lens include a large aperture with a fast f/2.8 maximum that remains consistent throughout the zoom range. The lens also features a high-speed CPU and USM (ultrasonic motor), along with optimized autofocus algorithms that drive a rapid and accurate autofocus system.

    The lens also offers a manual focus override in One Shot AF mode, allowing you to fine-tune focus manually while in AF mode - a perfect blend of manual and automatic.

    The revised optical design of the lens includes one Super UD lens element and two UD elements. These work in harmony to significantly reduce chromatic aberrations that can result in blurring at the corners and edges of the image.

    Two aspherical lenses ensure improved image quality across the entire image, regardless of the focal length. Fluorine coatings on the front and rear lenses reduce smears and fingerprints, ensuring your lens stays clean and clear.

    The Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM Lens also delivers great bokeh, thanks to the aperture's nine circular blades, which create a soft, pleasing focus fall-off and creamy backgrounds.

    Constructed to professional standards, the lens is sealed against dust and water, and a zoom lock lever locks the zoom in place, eliminating "zoom creep." This lens is an excellent companion to Canon's pro-line full-frame cameras, such as the Canon EOS 5Ds and 6D, or APS-sensor cameras such as the Canon EOS 7D Mark II.

    In summary, the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM Lens is a workhorse lens that delivers prime lens quality in a versatile zoom format.

    Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM Zoom Lens Features

    • Large aperture L-Series standard zoom lens that combines high image quality and enhanced durability.
    • New optical design utilizes 1 Super UD lens element and 2 UD lens elements to minimize chromatic aberration in the outer area at wide-angle; as well as eliminates color blurring around the edges of the subject, for images with high resolution and contrast.
    • Combines 2 types of aspherical lenses to reduce spherical aberration, and achieve high image quality across the entire screen area and throughout the full zoom range.
    • Highly resistant to dust and water, enabling shooting even in harsh and rigorous conditions.
    • Circular diaphragm (9 blades) delivers beautiful, soft backgrounds.
    • Ring USM, high-speed CPU, and optimized AF algorithms for fast autofocusing.
    • Optimized lens coatings ensure exceptional color balance while minimizing ghosting.
    • Fluorine coating on front and rear lens surfaces reduces smears and fingerprints.
