 ... luxury territory, one only considered by professionals or extremely enthusiastic amateurs with lots of cash to spend. On a crop sensor camera it would be about 38 - 112mm, a much less useful range. On a full frame it can be used as a landscape or architecture lens, as 24mm is quite wide. The maximum aperture and zoom range of this lens make it useful in practically any situation as an event lens - indoor or outdoor - and when combined with the high end bodies mentioned above it really is an unbeatable combination.

Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM Zoom Lens: Almost perfect zoom lens (237 words)
by - written on 24/07/12 (Useful, 5 readings)
Rating:

Everything about this lens is exquisite. It is extremely well built, with solid, metal construction and smooth-as-silk focus and zoom rings that respond to almost effortless, tiny adjustments but don't creep when you don't touch them. It produces fantastically sharp images all the way through the zoom range with the colours looking saturated and effective, and the aberrations and curvature of field are well controlled. The range it offers, 24 to 70mm, is only of real use on a full frame camera - so a 5D (or MkII or MkIII) and 1Dx being the current full frame models made by Canon. That puts this lens firmly in the luxury territory, one only ...  Read the complete review

Great lens (279 words)

I was tempted by the lens initially when I bought my canon camera. However the 24-105mm IS kit lens combo with my 5D offered a superior bundle. I was never disappointed. The 24-105 is a really great len with slightly added focal distance. The 24-70mm, which rates highly among users on Fred Miranda etc did eventually follow and became one of my first choices when out photographing/ on a shoot. It's heavier. Much heavier than the 24-105. But bare in mind that weight will add the stability for those missing the image stabilization function of the kit lens. It has what is called constant aperture which means as you zoom in on your subject the same amount of light ...  Read the complete review

Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM Zoom Lens: great all rounder (397 words)
by - written on 21/08/10 (Very useful, 208 readings)
Rating:

I'm a professional photographer & this is the lens I use the most, it's very versatile & I have it on my camera as my standard lens when I'm working. When the £ was stronger you could pick this up for under £700, at present it'll cost you over £900. Being an L Series Lens, it's the best available Canon zoom lens for the focal length. I find this lens is perfect as you can get fairly wide at the 24mm end, while you can get a nice portrait at the 50-70mm end, making it a good option if you don't want to be changing lenses regularly. The reason for the cost is primarily the fact that the camera opens up to f2.8, meaning there is a lot of ...  Read the complete review
