Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM Standard Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras
Customer Review: Tactically Tac-Sharp!
Summary: 5 Stars
When I was looking for a General Purpose glass I contemplated between the 24-105mm F4L & this one. I knew that this lens would weigh much heavier than the 24-105 because of the 2.8 glass which could be a potential concern. I really didn't need the extra focal length as I already have the 70-200 for that. I knew that the 24-105 & 24-70 would run neck & neck as far as sharpness being that they're both L-Lenses. But I did love the speed of the 2.8 on my 70-200IS so I decided on the 24-70.
I have no regrets but damn!.. damn!. damn! What a piece of Glass! And the weight while on any of my Canon bodies, indeed, it's Heavy... But I don't mind after seeing the results. I actually like it being heavy. My, my, my it's 'Oh so sharp! Another bonus feature I love is the Lens Hood which BTW came with the lens & I have it on 100% of the time, stays in a fixed position (it does not extend/retract), the objective lens retracts deeper into the hood as the focal length is increased. The hood is deep & huge! It looks DOMINATING!
All I know is that if I went with the 24-105mm F4L, soon if not later I'll always wonder how the 24-70mm F2.8L would be & probably end up buying one down the road. Hence, ending up with 2 General Purpose glass that have practically similar focal range. Grant it the 24-105 has IS, extra focal length & much lighter(No, thanks). I get nothing less than Tactically Tac-Sharp images! Going with the 24-70mm F2.8L route, I'll never wonder about the 24-105 nor own one for that matter. If you get the 24-105 you'll end up buying this later on I'm sure of it. If you get this first... After using it - Believe me, you'll never want the 24-105. Save & spend your money on the 70-200mm F2.8L IS instead. As partners, these two are a one two punch to have in your Canon Gear!
Description of Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM Standard Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras

Extended coverage to an ultra-wide angle 24mm makes it ideal for digital as well as film shooters, and the optics are even better than before with two Aspherical elements and a totally new UD glass element. It's now sealed and gasketed against dust and moisture, and a new processing unit makes the AF faster than ever. Zoom System - Rotating type Filter Size - 77mm Max.
