Amazing zoom. Bokeh draws great. Even sometimes I don’t want to wear a half-length, because I’m sure of the result of 24-70 and its beautiful bokeh. Much sharper than the first version. Sharpness across the entire image field. Yes, the price tag is expensive, but it's worth it and you don't have to cry that there is a lot of plastic. The plastic is solid, nothing backlash. Someone complains that the zoom rubber peels off, but according to the same reviews, this is quite common in gray lenses.
