Digital camera reviews of Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM Standard Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras
Digital camera Review: Awesome lens
Summary: 5 Stars
I was increasing disappointed with the quality of my pictures from my 30D and the 18-55 non-IS kit lens. I shot RAW only and had to adjust every picture to get close to what I wanted but could never seem to get what I expected.
I have now had the 24-70/2.8L for several months and I'm loving it. Contrasts are so well handled. I don't have to fight my pics on the computer; now I can only minor touch up some levels and my pics come out awesome.
It is a bit heavy (making the whole thing especially heavy with the extra grip) for which my wife complains about (at least I don't have to worry about her taking over my camera). I don't mind the heaviness at all. It isn't any more difficult to lug around than it was before with the kit lens.
I do miss the 18mm-24mm side but not very often. I think the extra on the long end and the f2.8 more than make up for it. I'm hoping to go for a 5Dmark? someday down the road so that tipped me over on my decision of what lens to buy and I'm very glad I went with the 24-70.
Only problem I had with buying this lens, I paid for overnight delivery but my credit card blocked the purchase since it was online and so expensive. Had to call them (Amazon Chase Visa) and allow purchase so I had to wait another day to get it (it about missed a vacation trip).
Digital camera Review: Awesome pictures
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this lens together with my 1D Mark III about a month ago. I've shot 3 weddings,1 engagement, 1 Official School Athletic Meet, Birthdays etc etc. I have taken more than few thousand pictures the last five weeks with no problems with the Lens or the Camera. I have noticed some of the reviewers complaining the pictures being soft, quality etc. I can assure at the professional level, pictures turn out just fine. This is an awesome lens only in good/experienced hands. If you are an amateur or pro level photgrapher, you will appreciate what this lens can do for you.Digital camera Review: Awesome!!!

Summary: 5 Stars
I sat on the fence for about a month battling between the 24-105mm L and the 24-70. After countless hours of deliberation, I came to the conclusion that the 1 stop was def worth it over the additional 30mm. I was also concerned, that I had spoiled my self with my 50mm 1.4 I'd been shooting with (exclusively) since I purchased my 7D. I cannot make it any clearer that the difference in contrast, saturation and clarity are night and day compared to my prime. Get this lens, you will NOT regret it! The moment your images start to hit film, you'll be floored how truly "special" these L lenses are!

Just a few things, i lost money in fees to re-sell this heavy glass,please consider other lenses 70% cheaper than this one, email me if you want a comparison pictures of this lens and a cheap 17-50 TAMRON (370 dlls)much lighter, cheaper and better pics, i am not the first one to say this. Just shop around, it is my advise.
