After using a Quantaray 18-200mm lens for the last year on my Canon 30D, I wanted to upgrade my lens. When I bought this camera and lens it was my first time using something of this quality and I did not have the money to go to the L lenses. I used the Quantaray for everything, indoor,outdoor, sun,rain and snow for the year and it worked very well eventhough for the indoor use I had to purchase a speedflash as I do 99% sports photography. This year I purchased a Canon 50D with the L 70-200mm f2.8 and was going to use it mainly for all my outdoor shots. I used the 70-200 for a wrestling match and found that taking pictures without having to use the flash worked great, so I started looking for a replacement for the Quantaray so I could shoot without having to use the flash. I read all the reviews for the various lenses and after much thought I had pretty much decided to go with the 85mm f1.8 as most of my indoor shots are from the endzone of small gyms and had checked my shots with the Quantaray and saw that the range I was shooting was from 50-80mm. I went to a camera store to try before buying, and tried the 85mm as well as the 50mm. I just could not make up my mind as to which one to buy as they both had their advantages and disadvantages and the quality of the 50mm did not get good reviews. That week I went to shoot a playoff basketball game and talked to another photographer whom I respected his opinion on the subject. He showed me the 24-70mm f2.8 he was using and told me that the 24-70 was the lens to get eventhough it would cost me 3 times more than the others. I am not regretting my purchase in the least. The first time I used it I got the shots I wanted and am very pleased that I went with this lens. Don't get me wrong, it's not perfect and some of your shots may be out of focus, but nothing is perfect and 90% in focus works for me as that was about the same as I got with the Quantaray and the speedflash. This lens gives me the range I need for the close shots and those that may be a little far away and long as you don't want to shoot a picture that is past half court. I have posted 5 pictures that this lens took that first night of use on the page for this lens for you to check out. Now I am looking forward to using for volleyball and the occasional track event where I can get close enough to the action. It may be heavy and alot of money, but it is well worth it.

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.

I primarily shoot portraits, and this lens has been with me for several years now. Over time, it has proven itself to be one of the most reliable and versatile pieces of gear in my kit—and easily my go-to all-around lens. What I Like The sharpness and clarity are outstanding. Images come out crisp with excellent detail, making it ideal not only for portraits but also for everyday shooting. The constant f/2.8 aperture performs beautifully, especially for subject separation and low-light situations. Its versatility is the biggest reason this lens replaced almost all my other lenses. From wide to mid-telephoto, it covers an incredibly useful focal range without compromising image quality. Build quality is another major highlight—this is not plastic junk. It feels solid, professional, and durable, exactly what you expect from Canon’s L-series. After years of use, it still feels dependable and well-made. What Could Be Better The weight is noticeable, especially during long shooting sessions. While the sturdiness is a plus, it does make the lens a bit heavy for extended handheld use. Image stabilization would also be a welcome addition, particularly for slower shutter speeds, though this is understandable given the lens’s generation and design. Overall Verdict The Canon EF 24–70mm f/2.8L USM is a true workhorse lens. Exceptionally sharp, versatile, and built to last, it has earned its place as my primary lens for portraits and general photography. While it’s a bit heavy and lacks image stabilization, its performance and durability more than make up for it. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a dependable, professional-grade standard zoom.

I bought this lens for two reasons: to replace my kit lens (Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Standard Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras) with some serious L glass, and for the wide angle coverage. The other lenses I use most frequently are Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L USM Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras and Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM Medium Telephoto Lens for Canon SLR Cameras. This lens is very sharp, and captures excellent colors, which I have come to expect from L-series lenses. This lens is more than adequately weather sealed, so I can use it with confidence under circumstances where I would tend to hesitate with my other lenses. After returning from a weekend at the beach, it was amazing to see how many airborne sand particles had been caught by the rubber weather sealing, almost like flies stuck to fly-paper. I was able to use a compressed air can to blow the tiny sand particles away from the external rubber seals - particles that almost certainly would have penetrated most other lenses. I have heard that constant mounting and dismounting of lenses that have weather sealing around the bayonette mount, like this one does, can wear-out the weather seal. For this reason I am trying to be cautious both about using a more gentle mounting/dismounting technique, and about trying to avoid frequently switching out lenses when possible. The seal can be replaced, but at a cost. A quick word about this lens versus the 24-105mm f/4. For me the choice was easy, because I have found I don't really use the Image Stabilization on other lenses I own. I have a pretty steady hand, and for longer shutter speeds I use a tripod anyway. But I do often go down to a f/2.8 aperture. And I already have the over-70mm coverage with my 70-200mm lens, so for me this lens is a better match than the 24-105. One interesting thing to note is that unlike many zoom lenses, this lens actually extends outward as the distance is reduced. This means that for wide-angle shots it is possible to get shadows when using a camera-mounted flash, even without the hood attached. Shooting under ambient light is an alternative, but that means boosting-up the ISO and/or decreasing the shutter speed. Of course this works much better with modern equipment than in the days of film cameras, but isn't always the best option. This minor annoyance aside, I love this lens and wouldn't trade it for any existing comparable lens. It is heavier than most other wide-angle zooms, but not excessively so. The 24-70mm range provides good coverage, and when paired with a 70-200mm or even the 70-300mm, you've got excellent coverage for almost all circumstances. The most important qualities in a lens for me are sharpness, color, and versatility, and this lens is right on the money. The weather sealing is a huge bonus. A valuable lens!

I had been looking it to buying this lens for a couple of years and finally this October bit the bullet and got it. I am primarily a nature and event photographer, and I was looking for a lens to fill the gap between my 17-40mm f4 L lens and my 100-400mm F4.5-5.6 L lens as well as the 70-200mm II USM L lens. Having just shot my first event almost exclusively with this lens I found that the constant 2.8 aperture was great for the areas in the building that were not as well lit, my 17-40mm f4 was a little slow in the room where the event was held, I had to bump my iso up to achieve a fast enough shutter speed in order to freeze the people moving around. I found that at 24mm this lens is wide enough for my uses on a 40D which is a crop body, for images that need more of a field of view I use my 17-40. When shooting out in nature this lens functions as a landscape and macro lens as well as a short telephoto which it was made to be. I would say that this lens is very close to the new Canon 70-200mm II L Lens in terms of sharpness and fast focusing. The images that come out of the camera are pretty much razor sharp little to no sharpening needed. Contrast- With this lens the contrast is much better then I have with some of my other lenses when taking a photo where one are is shaded and another is in sunlight I can tell details of the shaded and sun lit parts with no adjustments. Obviously when adjustments have been made the photos look better. Saturation- A couple days ago there was a beautiful sunset one evening I went out and shot it and when the images came up on the computer screen it looked like I was looking through a window outside, it looked exactly like I had seen it when I was shooting. Macro- This lens can function as a macro lens, although it does not replace a dedicated macro lens it does a good job. Over all this lens is well worth the money, if you need a medium telephoto lens for nature photography or event photography don't hesitate to buy it. I have heard the rumors that a new version of this lens is going to be coming out soon. Whether or not this is true I don't now I do know that this lens is a great addition to my arsenal of lenses and when a new version does come out mine will still work just fine.

I wish I could leave a "0" star review because I may have just thrown away my money! This lens had a horrible ghost image and would not focus correctly. I saw a similar review by someone else and they thought it was because they were fairly new to DSLR photography...but it was not user error!! I have an EOS 6D Mark II and a Rebel T5, and I have had the same horrible image focus problem for both cameras. I even used a tripod to eliminate all possible camera shake. Unfortunately, by the time I was able to use the lens and confirm that it was not some other problem, it was too late to return it. I called Cannon and they DO NOT SERVICE THIS LENS! The nice person I spoke to at Cannon said my best bet was to find a third party camera repair shop. My hope is that this can be fixed, otherwise I'm out ALL THIS MONEY. I've got a wedding to photograph in October, so if this cannot be fixed, I'll need to purchase another lens, and believe you me, I'll be going through B & H, NOT Amazon AND DEFINITELY NOT THIS SELLER!!! BUYER BEWARE! What a rip-off! Shame on them! Pay a few hundred more and get a real lens that works!

UPDATE: So today is January 8th, 2011. I've been using this lens for quite some time already. I must say the lens is still sharp as ever. Since my review in August this lens has been with me on several trips around California. This lens is not only a good all around lens, but it is also a good portrait lens as I have shot portrait shots with this lens. Still no lens creep (which is good). A couple months ago I decided to buy a DSLR camera after tinkering with a Canon XTi. Since then, I have bought a Canon XSi coupled with the 18-55mm kit lens. Eventually after 4-5 months I grew tired of using the 18-55mm and started seeking out a all around lens that boasted in sharpness and contrast. When I was looking at the lens I looked at 24-105mm f/4 L and the 24-70mm f/2.8 L I had a hard time deciding whether I wanted a bigger f/stop or longer range. I decided to go with the 24-70mm f/2.8 L since I figured the f/2.8 would help me out alot more. Why you may ask did I go with the 24-70mm as opposed to 24 - 105mm? Simple. Although the 24-105mm featured a longer focal range than the 24-70mm and had image stabilization, it wouldn't perform well in low light. Also take into consideration if you're taking pictures of moving objects like children. The 2.8 might not have IS, but in reality it doesn't really need one since the 2.8 can capture objects and stop them without blur. Something the 24-105mm can't do. I got it the day before I went to Reno, NV and man! The images were amazing, sharp, and clear! I was able to shoot indoors without fail, something my 18-55mm couldn't do. When they say its the L glass that makes it expensive you better believe it. You get what you pay for. The lens is sturdy and not made of a plastic feel. I haven't experienced lens creep yet. Overall, this lens is a great all around walking lens. I won't lie, but this lens intimidates people. I walked into In - N - Out one day and people started asking me about photography equipment and etc. I can't stress how much I love this lens. I use this lens more than my 18-55mm. I know that my camera sees the lens as 1.6x crop sensor, but if you plan on upgrading your camera body to a full frame body in the future then this is a good investment.

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!
