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
Regardless of brand, two f/2.8 zooms have for many years dominated professional photographers' camera bags, covering the 24-70mm and 70-200mm ranges. In Canon's case, these are both no-holds-barred lenses that are designed without compromise to meet the needs of the most demanding users.
Pros:
- Excellent sharpness
- Build Quality
Cons:
- Slight colour fringing at short focal lengths

Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM
I can't say enough good things about this lens. We own two for wedding photography and they replaced a 24L, 35L and 50L after a critical 2.8 shoot-out reveal this zoom was a better performer wide open then the primes were stopped down.
Pros:
- Great image quality, wide open, at every focal length
- Fast & accurate focus in challenging conditions
Cons:
- Lens hood breaks after modest professional use
- I miss the 'perfect' lens hood design of its predecessor

More Canon Goodness
I suppose the IS is not needed in a wider lens due to the focal length, but I can see it being useful at 70mm.
Pros:
- Typical canon sharpness build quality and reliability
- I have all canon glass and this purchase recently is one of the few lenses I didnt have to bridge the gap between the ultra wide and the super long stuff
Cons:
- No IS

Best lens ever!
I am a wedding photographer, so I need a really good lens for my photography. If you buy this you won't be disappointed! I can now shoot at higher iso levels without too much sharpness being lost and the image being too noisy. Colours are much better too now!
Pros:
- accurate focusing
- sharp
- good colours
Cons:
- none

The primary lens
If you can only have one lens this is the one. I keep it on my camera as primary. The best investment ever made.

Fantastic, worth the money!
I had the same lens from a competitor off brand and had such inconsistent results, I decided to go all in on this lens. So happy I did. Worth all the money. I shoot a lot of low light, action events and have been totally happy with it.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Fast / accurate auto-focus
- Nice Bokeh
- Strong Construction
Cons:
- Tough To Attach

Really Nice Lens but ...expensive
I have enjoyed using this high quality lens. The pics look amazing and sharp. It does not have IS but has been a joy to use.
