Digital camera reviews of Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM Standard Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras
Digital camera Review: "L" Lens Believer
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my first L series lens. I am amazed at the quality of photos it produces. I am in the market to upgrade my Canon 10D. I wanted to get a start on some quality glass before I get a 40D, 50D, or a 5D. After seeing the results, I'm probably closer to upgrading than I thought.
I was a little surprised when I felt the weight of this lens. It was double of what I expected. However, I use a tripod for most of my work. I don't think it would be too heavy for intermittant work. However, I would not won't to lug it around for several hours on a neck strap.
Overall, I think it was worth the investment.
Summary of Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM Standard Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras
The Canon EF 24-70mm standard zoom lens does what many pros thought couldn't be done--it replaces the L-series 28-70mm f/2.8 lens with something even better. The lens offers extended coverage to an ultra-wide-angle 24mm, making it ideal for digital as well as film shooters. The new processing unit, meanwhile, makes the autofocus (AF) faster than ever. And thanks to the two aspherical elements and a totally new UD glass element, the optics are far superior to the earlier lens. Sealed and gasketed against dust and moisture, the EF 24-70mm lens carries a one-year warranty.The Canon EF 24-70mm standard zoom lens does what many pros thought couldn't be done--it replaces the L-series 28-70mm f/2.8 lens with something even better.
