Canon EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM
The Canon EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM ($1,499 list) is a wide-to-short telephoto zoom lens for Canon cameras . It's noticeably smaller than the EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM, a lens that captures twice the light at its widest aperture, but lacks image stabilization and is priced around $2,300.
Pros:
- Optically stabilized
- Sharp throughout the zoom range
- Optically stabilized.
Cons:
- Some distortion at 24mm
- Telescoping design

As expected: great 'everything' lens
This is my go-to lens. It's almost always on my 5DIII, except when I need a bit more reach. Replaced my 24-105 with this lens and love the IS (gotten sharp images up to 0.5 seconds handheld), great sharpness and color as you would expect from this lens and controlling the zoom range is less cramped...
Pros:
- 77 Mm Thread
- Consistent Output
- Durable
- Fast / accurate auto-focus
- Lightweight
- Nice Bokeh
- Rugged
- Strong Construction
Cons:
- No F28 Obviously

Great Lens
My first L series lens and I couldn't be happier. It provides sharp, nice and contrasty images with accurate autofocus. I had originally got the Tamron 24-70mm f2.8 but wasn't happy with the autofocus or its performance compared to my other Canon zooms.
Pros:
- Easy to use
- Build quality

One of the best!
"The Canon 24-70/4 L IS lens is an excellent lens by just about any standard. It's main (minor) failing is that it is not quite as good as the Canon 24-70/2.8 L II. By any other standard it is a great lens.

Canon EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM
I can only imagine that SLR Gear was unlucky enough to get THREE faulty copies of this lens. Mine (used on a full frame 1-Ds ii) is almost as sharp in the corners as in the centre, even at full aperture, and does not show the terrible corner performance of the SLR gear tests.
Pros:
- Fairly light
- practical range of focal lengths
- excellent IQ
- Image stabilisation
- Macro mode
Cons:
- None really

Great Lens Like New
This lens is great for portraits and group images. It takes great pictures and is light enough use for hours. I am very happy with this lens, it could pass as brand new.

Canon EF 24-70mm f/4L USM Lens Review
Handling and features Performance Verdict Specification This new entry to Canon's L-series of lenses covers the popular 24-70mm focal range. As it has a constant maximum aperture of f/4 it is available at a lower price than the latest 24-70mm f/2.8 lens and also includes image stabilisation...
Pros:
- Excellent sharpness throughout the range in the centre at maximum aperture
- Good build quality
- Relatively lightweight
- Reasonably low distortion
Cons:
- Quite expensive for a lens with an f/4 maximum aperture
- Sharpness at 24mm towards the edges of the frame falls behind performance in the centre of the frame

Canon EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM Lens
Announced towards the end of 2012, Canon's EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM zoom lens provides a lighter, more affordable alternative to the EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM, which we reviewed in April of the same year .
