I love this lens, I just used it to photograph a firework display and walking around at a festival, i am absolutely delighted with the images. Its sharp and very consistent !! I bought the Sigma Art 50 but returned it as the image quality just wasn't what you get with a canon L lens.

Consistent Output; Quick Focus; Sharp Focus

Stunning detail and as sharp as my 16-35 f4 IS USM. Good for portraits with wide f2.8 aperture, so get out of focus background. I'll probably miss it not having IS as I like to push the limits - just need to remind myself of the old days, before IS.

If I had to pick only one lense for the rest of my life, It will be this one. Its my workhorse for fashion photography and editorial work. Very versatile, I've shot fashion campaigns inside cars and move to tight portraits with the same lens

it's the best general Canon lens ever. It's good for everything- reportage, weddings (you have just one lens- it you can use it for the whole day), family and children photography. Food photography is also ok with this, but anyway i would want some macro lens for the best food pics.

Sharpness, weather resistant, overall quality of the build, images; Just spectacular optics

The Price

Featuring the latest advances in optical lens design, it utilizes 1 Super UD lens element and 2 UD lens elements that help minimize chromatic aberration in the periphery at wide-angle as well as reduced color blurring around the edges of the subject.

It is extremely sharp and great colours. Though I had a soft corner for mark I since I was under the impression it had a better construction. However, after I bought this I realised it is a false impression. it is well built. The output is amazing.

I'm always a little nervous to order items like this online for delivery, since I've had a couple of things turn up broken or damaged. Amazon has been great in the past at refunding or discounting those items but there's always a worry that they'll change their attitude.

It is a Canon lens so I didn't have any compatibility issue with my camera body. The weight is not too bad and feels very balance when mounted on a 6D mkII body. The first copy I received had some horizontal play in the zoom ring. I requested for an exchange and got the second copy in today.

What can I say about the best 24-70mm 2.8 lens ever made Well for starters it has twoasphericalelements, one superUDand twoasphericalelements. This work horse is tightly weather sealed, nicely built, a well made all around lens; Ive had the Canon 28-70 & the 24-70 2.8L ( 1 ) which btw both have a...

This is as good as it gets for an own-brand Canon standard zoom...

Excellent weather sealing; Sharp; even when wide open

Expensive for what you get; No stabilisation
