Welcome to CameraCity.Info. Today I shall be giving you an overview of one of my favourite DLSR lenses, the Canon 24-70 F/2.8 luxury lens.
The Canon 24-70 F/2.8 luxury lens replaced the 28-70 f2.8 l lens many years ago and it is now seen as one of the main camera lenses across the range.
The ultra wide angle of the 24mm on this lens makes this lens ideal for both film and digital photographers alike. The Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM Lens has a much quicker and quieter autofocus system than its previous model.
The Canon EF 24-70mm Lens is Sealed and gasketed against dust and moisture and if you purchase this lens from Amazon.com you get one year’s free warranty.
This lens is constructed out of 16 elements which are in 13 groups. What this means to you is that this lens has a constant aperture of 2.8 throughout its entire range while allowing maximum image quality and clarity.
The Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM Lens has a minimum focus distance of 1.25 feet and has a filter size of 77mm.
This lens weighs 2.1 pounds and measures in at 3.3 inches in diameter, 4.9 inches long. As you can see this is a big lens which weighs the amount it does due to the quality of materials put into it.
Let’s take a look at some customer review snippets from Amazon.com
“I’ve owned the 24-70mm for almost a year now. This lens has been a favorite of many since it replaced its well-regarded predecessor, the 28-70mm. It shoots images that are very sharp and have excellent contrast and saturation. It’s sharp wide open and only gets better when stopping down.”
“Simply put, this is the best all-around lens that Canon manufactures. It produces razor-sharp images with startling color and saturation, and at f/2.8 across the zoom range is capable of shooting in all but the dimmest of lighting conditions.”
“All the positive stuff you read about this lens is true … the color, the contrast, the sharpness, it’s unbelievable how well this lens performs compared to a consumer grade lens.”
That concludes our Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM Lens review/overview. If you are still on the fence and can’t decide whether or not this Lens is for you, be sure to check out the reviews and spec, or compare other Lenses, on Amazon.Com
