What you need, a cool purchase, I advise you.

Has pros: When shooting a report inside this range, this lens cannot be replaced because there is still a 70-200mm lens in stock. Having this drawback: After a year had passed, the autofocus started to slip (growls does not focus), reporting failures with a pleasant smile and a gray lens.

The goods are normal, money is not wasted!

Don' something in between, that is, banquets, is not afraid of backlight, almost does not limp, the eyes are very cloudy, at 3.5 they are better, at 5.6-8.0 the clearest, it is already dark and you need to unscrew the ISO, know about others who say that it is sharp at all apertures, but for running around events and nature, Ru/next/users/chk4kin/album/499855/view/1560493

Pros
  • Versatility, color rendering, optimal weight, latch-clamp of the trunk, luminosity
Cons
  • The sharpness is not very good, the plastic body, some complain about the peeling rubber bands, the trunk sometimes leaves itself under weight, a big price

I bought it not so long ago in Hong Kong at a price of 84 Canon EF 24-70mm f / 2.8L II USM with a Canon EF 24-70mm f / 2.8 What caught my eye was the ringing sharpness in the eyes and not a single miss out of 5 frames 2) Also some other contrast and color rendition 3) Yes, For me, this is the main plus and somehow it conveys on the face better But still, 85 mm with 1,2, it can’t be compared for me, I often take pictures at 85 mm 1,2, it’ in love with 85-ku from head to toe . but without a…

Pros
  • 1) Sharp compared to Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM 2) Focus hits exactly 3) Bokeh is great 4) The design is amazing 5) The ride is very smooth 60 Lighter and smaller than the old version, and even more so the lens hood is smaller

A really necessary purchase, I'm glad I found this product.

Has some pros Much has been written about the benefits here. Yes, it's really good, 42 megapixel resolution without flaws. Different cons: If you want to shoot something at night with a tripod, pointing the lens up, you can immediately twist it up to 24 millimeters, otherwise it will fold by itself under its own weight.

I do not cease to rejoice at the purchase, a very good deal!

Most people will be able to use the lens well, with the exception being portrait photographers who are paid for their work (this category will have to carry fixes, although they themselves already know this). The fact that there isn't a superior tube means that everyone else can, in theory, tolerate paying more for a good tube. The likelihood that you won't need a light filter is very high, so hold off on buying one right now. Because plastic is not the same as metal and because this lens is…

Pros
  • This "zoom lens" type of lens achieves a very high level of sharpness. Fixes with an aperture ratio of 1.4 (except for half a lens of 1.8) and more on their focal lengths will be able to do this zoom by 100% (in reality, they will be better by about 30%, but not any more). Fixes with an aperture ratio of 2 or less unquestionably lose to him in everything when compared to him. For the first two months after buying it, the autofocus was accurate on both the crop (600D) and full (5Dm3) settings. However, after that, it began to struggle to focus on challenging targets (a sideways glossy white stripe on a light background). In terms of performance, it is on par with any fixes thanks to the outstanding color rendering. The fact that I began to blur autofocus is a benefit of what was just described; filters are already pretty expensive. I used to use manual focus more regularly when shooting at dusk before there were so many sentiments.
Cons
  • The only negative aspect is the price! In actuality, it shouldn't cost more than 70% of the cost of a brand-new 70-200 II 2.8/f lens. And you're right; the hood isn't doing very well. However it appears that the tilt of the entire frame is to blame for this. Even if it's only a feature, this is unquestionably necessary. When used at 70 millimeters, this tube is inferior to the Canon 70-200 II 2.8/f. Filters could be quite expensive. Dusk is not the best time to concentrate, so you must use the handles to complete all tasks. Higher quality fixes are definitely preferred, but you have to carry the whole bucket.

The best purchase in my life, I will definitely buy it again.

You will need some time to acclimate to and become accustomed to the distortion that occurs at the frame's edges, but once you do, you will rapidly adapt to this. Especially if you are a working photographer who dislikes reading reviews and analyzing ratings, this is something you should consider. Before that, I worked as a freelance photographer and used a 24-105 F4 lens almost exclusively for more than 5 years and a 24-70 F.4 lens for around 4 months. As a member of the 24-105 staff, during…

Pros
  • An fantastic pick for a stock lens. It is sharp, tenacious, and, because it does not have a stub, it does not irritate, produce noise, or twitch, and the movement is very smooth.
Cons
  • I would only point out the price and the weight as being negative aspects of the product; however, it is pointless to complain about the price, and owing to the design of the lens, it is unlikely that the weight will alter in the near future.

There are disadvantages, but the product is usable.

I did a lot of research before purchasing this lens, including reading and looking at all of the reviews available, and I found that the vast majority of people are quite satisfied with it. After 18–55, a lot of people were talking about some sort of super-sharpness, which was something I had been yearning for for a very long time. Nevertheless, everything wasn't quite as cheerful as it seemed at first glance. Those who, like me, have always used a lens equipped with a stabilizer will have to…

Pros
  • Continuous luminosity, dust and moisture protection.
Cons
  • The absence of a stabilizer, shaky autofocus, missed shots, and the high price.

I did not regret the purchase, everything is fine.

For me - a great staff for Canon 5D Mark III. The only thing is that it is very expensive for a lens whose rubber band falls off. There were also very cheap lenses in my use, but there was no such incident even with active use under various adverse conditions (mountains, snow, sea, breeze .) Got pros: Precise, sharp, pleasant bokeh for zooming, the trunk does not crawl out when zooming. Different cons: The price is too high, the zoom band stretched after 5 months of using the lens.

Not a bad product, quite normal quality.

For me - a great staff for Canon 5D Mark III. The only thing is that it is very expensive for a lens whose rubber band falls off. There were also very cheap lenses in my use, but there was no such incident even with active use under various adverse conditions. With its pros. 1. Sharpness over the entire range of focal lengths. 2. Beautiful, one might say, artistic bokeh. 3. Universal, although who cares. Different cons: For six months of use, the rubber band of the zoom ring came off! And…

Nice product, happy with my purchase and may buy again.

An optically beautiful lens with a terrible design. The reduction in cost and reduction in operating time also reached photographic equipment. I have wanted it for a long time, because it is very convenient focal for banquets and reporting. The picture and sharpness are excellent, I hope the above problems will not arise soon. Pros below: Universal focal lengths, really working 2.8 (perfectly sharp on it), fast focus. Beautiful bokeh at 2.8. Its cons: Weak coverage of the front lens…

Overall pretty good, an equal number of pros and cons.

Almost bought! and I don't regret it! I tested two copies, it’s not worse! Abandoned the idea to switch to the second version, frankly not worth the money. The lens is slightly better than the first version, but costs more than twice as much! Pros: Improved first version, equalized distortion, sharpness, speed Some cons: I came across frankly soapy specimens. Movable rear lens when zooming - a vacuum cleaner!

Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good one.

My decision - I will buy a new Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM, definitely! But, only when it gets a little cheaper ;-))) Some pros: + sharp; + contrast; + slightly more juicy colors gives out; + we get a hard drawing and high detail of the picture, almost like a fixed lens (because it's always easier to blur the texture of the skin (in Ps / Lr) than to draw); + large depth of field even with an open aperture, which will be very useful for reporters and weddings; + the lens hood (the trunk

I like the product, the quality did not disappoint.

While I manage manual mode, but I want autofocus to work. In Hong Kong, I feel alienated distrust of the service center. I agree that the price does not match. Tell me where you can see the diagram of the lens itself. The warranty is over, it is necessary to somehow determine the cause and eliminate it. Pros below: Not replaceable when shooting a report, in this range, when there is still 70-200mm in stock. Cons: A year later, autofocus began to slip (growls does not focus). I did not pay…

The quality was generally satisfied, there were minor shortcomings.

Before buying this lens, I read all the reviews, looked at all the reviews, 90% of people are simply delighted with it. A lot of people were talking about some kind of super-sharpness that I was looking for a long time after 18-55. But in fact, everything was not so happy. Those who have always used a lens with a stabilizer, like me, will have to get used to and adapt for a long time in order not to get blurry in the evening or indoors. The shutter speed should be at least 1/160 at 70mm, and…

Pros
  • Constant luminosity, dust and moisture protection.
Cons
  • Lack of a stabilizer, unstable autofocus, misses, price.

Exactly as promised by the manufacturer, high quality.

An excellent lens from Canon, as you would expect from the L series. For a long time I chose which lens to purchase as a regular one for 5dm4. Was pleased with the choice. The picture is amazing. Clarity is beyond praise throughout the entire range of focal lengths. The only thing missing is the stabilizer. Moreover, Sigma and Tamron have it on a similar lens, but for some reason Canon did not, which is a pity.

Pros
  • Aperture beautiful bokeh high definition Good autofocus performance
Cons
  • No stabilizer

It's the best purchase I ever made, I will definitely do it again.

Whatever the advantages of this lens, you still need to think 10 times before buying it. I shoot a lot of dynamic reports (including children's), where a shallow depth of field is fraught with misses. As a rule, I twist up to 4-8. A couple of static portraits at 2.8 maximum. and then for this I have 70-200. Plus, under heavy loads and fatigue, there is always a tremor in the hands, which should extinguish the stub. But it is not in this lens. A lot of great people are getting married…

Pros
  • Great lens. Very high quality picture, almost no misses in focus. The design is beyond praise!
Cons
  • First of all, the price. And oddly enough, the lack of a stub. The weight.

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The right product for me, the price suited me.

On the 5D Mark III, you can leave the only lens, that is, do not buy other glasses at all, the image quality is simply amazing, but there are fixes, 24 1.4 II and any of the 70-200 2.8 by 70 without any problems leave the beginner behind. At the moment, the best of all native 24-70. I think it would be fair to rank something like this: 1 place EF 24-70 II 2nd place Nikon 24-70 3rd place Sony 24-70G

Pros
  • Good image quality at all focal lengths Sharp since 2.8! Nice natural colors Weight and size reduced The 9-blade aperture blurs the background very softly and beautifully (9 blades are standard for Nikon professional optics, for Canon only super telephoto lenses like 300 2,8L II and 400 2,8L II can boast of such aperture, and oddly enough EF 100 2 .8 IS Macro yes 24-70 4 IS) Fast and accurate AF, faster than 70-200 II and on par with 16-35 II Frame made of durable and pleasant to the touch plastic
Cons
  • Controversial design, it is too early to talk about its reliability, but compared to the first version, the fragility of the design is immediately evident, the original 24-70 has been in various situations (rain, sand, frost) and looked and, importantly, worked like new for 3 years operation, no mote, no dust inside, the front lens is not a single scratch (I don’t like filters), so it was sold without problems for 38,000. Immediately after the purchase, I took it to the service, it needed adjustment Although it is better to cover at 2.8 sharp at least up to 3.2 - due to strong aberrations in the open Rarely, but still can crawl back and forth for a long time (appears in backlight) I didn’t like the lens hood, I left a piece of useless plastic in the box 82 filter for someone it will also be a minus

A great option for this money, I definitely recommend it!

My favorite lens. Used it, 24-105, 70-200 II and 85 1.2. Why beloved? Firstly, the lightest of the really high-quality glasses. Secondly, this is the only lens for which I am not worried about the result. Marriage is minimal, there is no XA as such, in general, damn it, only stars are cooler. I have a very cool stub at 70-200 II, but there I have smudges and a lot. And on 24-70 I have them 1 out of 100 in the worst case. Conclusion? On such focal points, it is rather not necessary. And…
