Description

Filter size: 77 mm, Closest Focusing Distance: 1.25 feet. From the Manufacturer 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.

  • NICE lens!!!
Style: 24-70mm f/2.8L
Normally I write reviews almost immediately after getting the item. The lens came REALLY fast, three days BEFORE it was supposed to arrive. However, it was gloomy, dark and raining! After work I donned raincoat and boots and went out shooting my dogs playing in the field. The photos were very good, but I couldn't call them great. I was certainly hoping it was the weather so I decided to do some testing the second evening, still rainy, dark and gloomy. I used this lens as well as a "decent" zoom with the same range. When I looked at these photos, I was feeling better. Today it finally stopped raining and got much brighter. Again, I took an assortment of lenses with me, tried them all and I can now say I LOVE this lens!!! I already have the 70mm - 300mm 1:4-5.6 L lens and BOTH lenses gave me super photos... clarity, sharpness, great action shots, and the DOF is fantastic! I did have to play with the lighting post shooting, but it was hard to tell if the greenery was off because of the lens OR because we have had more than a week of rain and gloom during the Spring growth! I have a Canon Rebel T2i, and I NEVER use the video because I hate the results... I tried it with this lens and it was really great! Later the sun actually came out and I went flower shooting in my garden. Even with a breeze and handheld, I got the most amazing shots! Colors and sharpness are right on. I am a hobby photographer, shooting mostly action shots of my dogs playing, some macro shots of my gardens, and nature shots while camping and kayaking. I absolutely HATE to get home and look at my photos and find they are just missing something. After getting the 200 L lens, I had to move up with my zooms as well and I am not sorry at all!!! Once you use these L lenses you cannot go back!!! This lens IS heavy, but not a problem to handhold and carry for any length of time. It is quiet, quick to focus and even with the poor lighting, was not hunting all over the place trying to focus. It is a perfect range to keep on the camera most of the time. I guess I now have some "regular" zoom lenses for sale, LOL! ... show more

  • An incredible lens that's a "must have" for any serious shutterbug
Style: 24-70mm f/2.8L
I rented this lens a few months ago, along with the 24-105 f4 lens. Like a lot of people, I was debating back and forth on which lens to get. I based my decision to purchase this lens because I tend to shoot primarily in low light and indoors, where using an f4 lens is a little tough without a flash or tripod. I don't like using either, so that extra f-stop makes all the difference. Pros: 1) This lens is tack sharp, even at f2.8. It gets even better down to f5.6. 2) Excellent color and contrast 3) The bokeh in portraits is very smooth 4) Full time manual focus is available, which is nice to have 5) Lightning fast auto focus 6) Versatile zoom range (at least for my needs - your mileage may vary) 7) Solid construction. It's built like a tank. A huge leap from the 18-55mm kit lens that came with the camera. Cons: 1) This lens is *HEAVY*. Then again, you knew that when you bought it. :) (Get a neoprene neck strap and you'll be set. It makes a huge difference.) 2) Cost - not cheap, but then again, you get what you pay for. You have to keep in mind that buying L lenses is an investment. 3) One weird thing I noticed - the lens hood (which is *HUGE*) creates shadows when using the internal flash on my Canon XSi camera. If you're using an external flash, then you should be fine. This isn't a big deal for me, I just noticed this. Although this lens doesn't have IS, I'm not concerned. In a way, I'm glad it doesn't. It forces me to do a better job on my techniques, which is a good thing. IS can really spoil you... Overall, this is probably one of the best all-purpose lenses that you can buy. It's very versatile and useful, with very high quality pictures, which is why so many professionals use this lens. I can't recommend this lens enough. ... show more

  • Canon is unable to fix their factory defect
Style: 24-70mm f/2.8L
Let me first state that I am a very inexperienced photographer, so everything I say has to be taken with a grain of salt. I got the 24-70 lens as a present and this is my first lens attached to my first DSLR. I was and still is very eager to learn photography, but I was quite discouraged with my results from the very beginning -- I made not a single sharp photo. Few months later, after extensive reading on the subject and after thousands photos shot, my image quality did not improve. This is when I read other reviewers on Amazon, saying that this particular lens occasionaly comes with a factory defect, which causes blurred images. I called Canon and a very polite representative suggested that the lens may require a recalibration and that I should send it for a warranty check-up and reparir. It cost me more than $40 of postage and insurance to send the lens to the repair center in Irivne, CA. In 5 business days I had the lens delivered back to my front door with a letter, stating that some of the internal parts were misaligned, and that caused blurred images. The letter also claimed that the problem was taken care of. After a few more months of unsuccessful shooting, I concluded that I am not capable of holding a camera still even during the shortest exposure times, and I purchased a tripod and a remote. Well, that did not help either... I wrote a letter to Canon describing the problem and asking to replace the defective lens. A prompt reply from the representative said, and I quote "I'm sorry to hear that your lens is not producing clear images for you. Regrettably, since Canon does not sell lenses directly to the public we are unable to offer any type of refund or exchange for your lens, nor are we able to reimburse you for shipping charges. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. However, if the lens is not operating as it should you can send it to our Factory Service Center for repair." Along with that email came a UPS shipping label, so at least I did not have to pay for shipping again. 5 business days after I mailed the lens to Irvine, CA, I received the lens back with a loose focus ring and the accompanying letter said "Your product has been examined and it was found that the internal component was broken and therefore the image was blurred. The collars were replaced and product functions were confirmed." This immediately made me wonder as to why the broken parts were not discovered the first time Canon serviced, and why did the focus ring become loose. I sure did not drop my camera since then... Well, I mounted the lens that was serviced by Canon for the second time, and, surprise-surprise -- same blurred image. The experiment was clean enough -- a very sturdy tripod, locked mirror, a remote, no earthquakes in the neighborhood and a good light. Maybe this is about the time to send my Rebel XSi for a service check-up as well, or maybe I should give up on photography all together -- I don't know... But I do know for sure that in 8 months my lens was serviced twice, and each time a factory defect was discovered (and supposedly fixed.) I am sure that 24-70 is a great lens, but I was given no chance to recognize it, since the particular one that I have is not worth the money I spent mailing it to the service center, let alone $1300. Buy it at your own risk. ... show more
