Canon EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM Lens Review

As the Canon EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM Lens hits the streets, Canon has more 50mm prime lenses in its lineup than it has full frame general purpose zoom lenses – four vs. three. I am omitting from my count the large, heavy EF 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6L IS USM Superzoom Lens and the very-wide angle EF 17-40mm...

As of now, very good value for money! Basicly same image quality as 24_70 f2.8 (from f4) smaller lighter weather dwaling. I LOVE this lens! Macro mode is very usable.

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.

As an alternative to the professional-grade 24-70mm f/2.8 L II, the Canon EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM is an excellent choice. It’s not going to produce the same quality of bokeh or produce the same results in low-light, but the trade-off is a lens that’s lighter, easier to manage and more affordable.
