Digital camera reviews of Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM Standard Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras
Digital camera Review: Amazing Lens
Summary: 5 Stars
Possibly the best lens I've ever used. Definitely the best all-around performer in my bag. I'm using it with a 1.6x sensor and I love the focal range you get with this lens. Excellently sharp and detailed images with full saturation that require practically no retouching on your computer. Consider it an investment because you'll save time otherwise spent touching up image quality from lesser lenses. It's a bit heavy, but once you get used to it there's no going back. I love it!Digital camera Review: Amazing lens for all purposes.
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this lens for my Canon DSLR camera about 3 weeks ago, and since then I've been using it for many projects and under different conditions. Let's see all the different aspects of the lens:
1- Build: Really professional and strong build, and that's what you would expect from an L-series lens. Hard plastic construction with rigid rubber on the focusing and zoom rings. It's manufactured to be dust and moisture proof (but I personally didn't test this, and I hope I won't).
2- Mount: The EF mount for Canon systems that comes with this lens is a perfect fit, once mounted on the camera, it will feel like it was built with the camera.
3- Aperture: With a maximum aperture of 2.8 you would be able to shoot in really dim conditions with no blurry results. Also at this aperture one can achieve really great depth of field effects (great in macro and portrait shooting).
4- Focal Lenght: 24-70mm means a good range for all purposes (check out the lens' offical link from Canon to see the MTF charts).
5- Weight: It's a bit heavy, and with a big camera the overall weight would be relatively heavy. But it's not a big deal when you achieve great imaging results.
6- Included Accessories: Deep hood that will prevent any sun flares, front and rear caps, soft leather bag.
7- Overall: Amazing lens for all purposes and under any situation. A great lens for anyone searching for a one-show lens.
I hope this review was useful.

Digital camera Review: Amazing lense for our Canon EOS
Summary: 5 Stars
We got this lens as our primary lense for our EOS Rebel T1i and just love it. While it's not inexpensive by any means, it's highly flexible and exemplefies the depth of field capability and range you want in a general lens. It's not small, but it's just short enough not to interfere with the flash when used without its lens hood.
If you get just one lens for your camera, pick this one.
Digital camera Review: Amazing!
Summary: 5 Stars
This lens is so crisp and so clear it looks 3D! I have a Canon 5D MK 2, and it focus' very fast and quiet. Low light is no problem. I'm shooting with no tripod in light lower than I ever thought possible. Great all around lens!Digital camera Review: Amazingly fun and brilliant
Summary: 4 Stars
I just have to say that this is my very first "L" series lens and it has spoiled me and also has made me upset to think that I was shooting for so long with a 3rd party lens. It's like going from an old CRT T.V. to an HD plasma TV. The colors, the sharpness, the contrast is unreal. I have a Canon 30D and was thinking of getting a 50D or even a 5D. This added a quality that I did not expect, therefore have put off spending more money on a camera and sticking with what I have for now. I had heard from many people that you really couldn't see the difference between a non "L" lens and a "L" lens. Boy are those people wrong. I will NEVER shoot without an L series lens. I now own this lens and the 70-200L 2.8 which is even better in my opinion. The only reason I did not give it a 5 star is the range. Would love to see an "L" range from 18MM to at least 105MM something like that. They need to make a all around "L" series. The 18-200MM is an okay lens, but you are compromising great quality photos for convenience. The last thing I ever wanted to do is carry a bunch of gear on vacation. That is why I had the all in one walk around 3rd party lens. Now I feel like going back to the places I have photographed in my travels and recapture them the right way. With my 24-70MM L lens. Buy this baby, and you will quickly forget how much you doled out from the first frames you take from it. Highly recommend it if you can afford it, especially if you are a serious hobbyist/ professional.
