Review submitted for Canon EF 24-70mm F2.8 L USM Lens for Canon SLR Cameras (CN2470L)
Pros: Rugged, Nice Bokeh, Strong Construction, Fast / accurate auto-focus, Durable
Cons: Heavy
Other Comments: I upgraded from my 28-70mm to this. I can't really say that there's a huge difference between the two. Both took excellent pictures and I would have been fine with the older model. The construction has a better build and it does seem to focus a bit quicker. Overall, I'm happy w/ the purchase. This is one lens you gotta have in your arsenal.

4 out of 5 stars   Terrific all-purpose lens
By Juz on July 06, 2011

Review submitted for Canon EF 24-70mm F2.8 L USM Lens for Canon SLR Cameras (CN2470L)
Pros: Fast / accurate auto-focus, Consistent Output, Easily Interchangeable, Strong Construction
Cons: Heavy
Other Comments: Awesome lens, terrific quality. Loving that 2.8. Wish it had IS, as it's difficult to shoot video with it. The 24-70 doesn't give you a great range (not quite wide, not quite telephoto) but good for everyday use.

5 out of 5 stars   Quickly becoming my favorite lens
By Skygirl on February 08, 2011
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Canon EF 24-70mm F2.8 L USM Lens for Canon SLR Cameras (CN2470L)
Pros: Nice Bokeh, Durable, Consistent Output, Fast / accurate auto-focus
Cons: Heavy
Other Comments: I love this lens. I did a lot of research before buying this as it's a lot of money and I wanted to make sure, if I was shelling out $1200+, I was really getting the best lens for the money. I was not disappointed.Great quality and range. Focuses really nicely. I use it 75% of the time, only switching for super macro or telephoto.Only con is that it's pretty heavy. But that's because it's really well-made with metal parts instead of plastic which would be lighter but would also break after little use.If you can only splurge on one lens, this is the one to get. Great walk around lens.

4 out of 5 stars   Amazing lens, sharp as a tack
By sweet shots on November 30, 2010
Review submitted for Canon EF 24-70mm F2.8 L USM Lens for Canon SLR Cameras (CN2470L)
Pros: Easily Interchangeable, Durable, Strong Construction, Fast / accurate auto-focus
Cons: Poor production issues
Other Comments: Had to order lens twice, first one very soft and poor function in general. The one I have now is excellent, shoots in loow light very well. Does especially well when using a mono or tripod for stablizing as it has no IS. Highly recommend this lens and beachcamera for all your photo purchases.

5 out of 5 stars   Expensive, but worth every penny!
By sashukin on November 27, 2010

Review submitted for Canon EF 24-70mm F2.8 L USM Lens for Canon SLR Cameras (CN2470L)
Pros: Sharp, Strong Construction, Fast / accurate auto-focus
Cons: Heavy
Other Comments: I have Canon 50D. I switched to Canon 24-70mm from 17-85mm lens. The quality of 17-85mm is good, but by comparing it to 24-70mm I notice huge difference. There is no way you can get same colors and sharpness with 17-85mm. The lens is very fast. Colors are great. The IS would be nice for the low light indoor photography, however 2.8 aperture helps a lot. If you willing to spend money for this lens, you won't be disappointed.

Review submitted for Canon EF 24-70mm F2.8 L USM Lens for Canon SLR Cameras (CN2470L)
Pros: Rugged, Fast / accurate auto-focus, Durable, Nice Bokeh, Strong Construction
Cons: Heavy
Other Comments: the 24-70 mm is a very sharp but heavy lens. It's actually heavier than my canon 70-200 f/4 IS. Although it is heavy it might be the best everday zoom if you can afford it. It has improved my photos immeasurably. Buy one!

Other Comments: This lens is very well constructed. It is solid and heavy, and very smooth. I can see a difference in the quality of my pictures, especially in portraits where I can use a larger aperture to blur out the background.

5 out of 5 stars   Fantastic lens
By OYZ on August 14, 2010

Review submitted for Canon EF 24-70mm F2.8 L USM Lens for Canon SLR Cameras (CN2470L)
Pros: Quality of the image
Cons: Heavy
Other Comments: This is really a great product. It delivers very sharp images. I use it with a 5 d markn II. I took bunch of photos of my daughter at low light without flash, and other indoor or outdoor. The quality of the image just makes me think it is worth of very penny I paid for it. It is heavy, but it is not a surprise for this type of lens. I would highly recommend it to whoever can afford the price. It took me several year to move from $300-500 EF lens to this one, but I think I could have saved money if I had gone for this lens directly. The difference in the image quality is just huge.

5 out of 5 stars   Best deal for the money
By Chister on July 10, 2010
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Canon EF 24-70mm F2.8 L USM Lens for Canon SLR Cameras (CN2470L)
Pros: Nice Bokeh, Durable, Consistent Output, Strong Construction, Easily Interchangeable, Fast / accurate auto-focus
Cons:
Other Comments: For the low price you cannot get a better normal stay on lens for your Canon full framer. This lens is much nicer than the 24-105mm! I have both and I am amazed Canon is willing to put so many extra features into this lens for so little more. The bokeh for this lens is awasome - something I could not do with the 24-105. Thanks to the f2.8 my viewfinder is twice as bright and AF is faster and more sure. This lens is super sharp and contrasty. If you are only going to have one lens this is the lens to get. The thing the I don't like about this lens is the reverse zooming. Yes, it helps with the hood but I am a wide angle junkie. I am shooting at 24mm most of the time and would prefer the lens to be not extended at 24mm like the 24-105mm. Not having IS is a plus: your camera battery lasts longer and your pictures turn out sharper. Many people may not know this, but if you don't need IS and leave it on, your pictures will not be as sharp as with IS off. 70mm is also not that long of a reach so I do not miss not having IS for this lens.
