Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM Lens

This lens does what many pros thought couldn't be done - replace the previous L-series 28-70 f/2.8 lens with something even better. 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.

Cons Heavy; Size makes it attractive to thieves
Recommended it? Yes

As I have grown as a photographer, I have begun to do more and more. I have finally realized where my "sweet spots" for focal lengths are in terms of shooting. My main passion is people and event photography. In fact, I have started to do a little bit on side for some extra cash. I have been using... Read full review »

Pros Wide, Sharp, Fast
Cons Expensive
Recommended it? Yes

After I purchased a Canon EOS 3 body, I found that it would only use the fancy AF mechanisms with f/2.8 lenses (like the EOS 1n). If this was a scam on the part of Canon to get more people to by L lenses, it worked on me!

Pros Tack sharp, excellent results. Great "normal" range of focal length.
Cons No hyperfocal scale, potential for lens creep, and heavy for the size.
Recommended it? Yes

Twelve hundred dollars for a lens with a focal range of only 24-70mm???? That sounds like an awful lot of money doesn't it? The question is…Is the Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L USM worth it? You betcha!
