Spanning a popular and versatile range of focal lengths, the EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM is a Canon L-series zoom commonly thought of as the workhorse of lenses. Ranging from wide-angle to portrait length, this lens is also distinguished by its constant f/2.8 maximum aperture to benefit working in difficult lighting conditions and to afford greater control over depth of field. The lens is also characterized by its sophisticated optical design, which includes one Super UD element and two UD elements, which reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations in order to realize a high degree of color accuracy and clarity. Three aspherical elements are also featured, and minimize distortion and spherical aberrations for improved sharpness. Additionally, a Super Spectra coating has been applied to individual elements to control flare and ghosting for high contrast and neutral color fidelity.
Balancing the refined optics, this 24-70mm f/2.8 also sports a ring-type USM and internal focusing mechanism to enable quick, quiet, and accurate autofocus performance, as well as full-time manual focus override. Additionally, this lens is weather-sealed and has a protective fluorine coating on the exposed elements for use in trying environmental conditions.

This lens is amazing! It is super sharp and the auto focus works really well in low light. The bokeh is just awesome. MarCamera is an awesome place to buy your gear, I had my lens in 3 business days. It showed up in perfect condition thanks to the great packaging job. I would definitely recommend this lens and MarCamera!

I absolutely love this lens! Its always in my kit and for good reason. Its a must when Im shooting video. Great for interviews and b roll. With the ability to do so much in a good focal range. And for stills its crisp and sharp to get the job done, especially when doing documentary work where you dont know where your going to be. And at 2.8 its great when theres low light conditions. All in all its a really good lens to have. You wont regret it!

As an intermediate level photographer, I have been using kit Canon 24-105 F/4 L lens. Bought 24-70 F/2.8 L II - it's so much better in every respect: the focus is much sharper than 24-105, charming bokeh. In my opinion, the lens is well worth the cost.

This lens has been on my shopping list for a very long time and I finally pulled the trigger. I had high expectations, but those were blown away by the quality and performance of this canon lens. I will use this lens for a majority of the shoots I do now. Focus speed is lighting fast and the color is vibrant. If youre asking yourself if its worth it the answer is yes.
