Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 USM L II - Full Format Review / Test Report
The build quality of this lens is exceptional thanks to a tightly assembled combination of metal and - mostly - high quality plastic parts. Both zoom and focus ring operate smoothly. The lens is designed to survive in harsh conditions due to sealings against dust and moisture.

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.

Best Lens Ever
This lens is way better than my 24-105 f4 I sold. It meets and exceeds my expectations. I always wanted the 24-70 mk I but hated the weight and reverse zoom. now I have a lens that looks like a normal zoom but is extremely light and sharp.
Pros:
- 2.8 that is light and extremely sharp wide open
Cons:
- price no IS

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

Overall good. Despite it is not brand new
This lens is incredible well designed and built. If you are looking for a canon standard zoom lens, it is the right choice. The only disadvantage for this lens is its price. It has very solid body and quite good IQ (compared with the former version, and it is far more greater than 24-105L).
