Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM Lens Review
The Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM Lens is clearly the best performing Canon full-frame-compatible general purpose zoom lens available. It is the best from both an image quality perspective and from an AF speed/accuracy perspective.

Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM review by MartinM
I had now several standard zooms on Canon. All of them left much to deserve wide open. When comparing with the Zuiko 14-35 and the Sony Zeiss ZA 24-70, no Canon standard lens was close to them. Today I can positively remark, this Canon 24-70 made my day.
Pros:
- Tack sharp
- design
- AF speed
- IQ wide open
Cons:
- prica tag

The Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM is the kind of lens that's always going to be held up to high scrutiny - it's the company's flagship standard zoom for professional photographers, and is expected to deliver top-notch results under all conditions. Happily, that's exactly what it does.
Pros:
- Superb
- almost flawless optics
- Impressive flare resistance
- Fast
- silent
- and accurate autofocus
- Excellent build quality including weathersealing
Cons:
- Unpleasant vignetting in the 50-70mm region at F2.8 on full frame
- Noticeably lower image quality at close focus distances
- No image stabilisation
- Very expensive

Lens Test: Canon EF 24-70MM F/2.8L II USM Zoom
The latest in a line of storied lenses going back to the 28–80mm f/2.8–4L of April 1989, this is Canon's fourth high-speed, full-frame, standard-range, L-series autofocus zoom. The previous 24–70mm f/2.8L was introduced in November 2002, and compared with that lens, this version II ($2,299, street)...

I had a very good copy of the Canon 24-105mm f/4L IS USM but sold it because once I get this gem it never got used.
Pros:
- My sharpest zoom lens and I own several Canon "L"s including the 70-200mm f/2.8L II IS
- Only my Sigma ART 50mm f/1.4 is sharper
- Super fast focus
Cons:
- Cheap hood
- No IS
