Product Overview

This redesigned EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM Lens from Canon ups the ante for optical performance for a professional standard zoom lens. It has one Super UD lens element and two UD lens elements that minimize chromatic aberrations in the periphery at wide-angle, as well as reducing colour blurring around the edges of the subject. In addition, two types of aspherical lenses are combined to help reduce spherical aberration over the entire image area, as well as through the full zoom range. Optimized lens coatings help ensure exceptional colour balance while minimizing ghosting.

A ring-type USM and high-speed CPU with optimized AF algorithms ensure silent, fast autofocusing. The lens is constructed with improved dust sealing and water resistance, while fluorine coatings on the front and rear lens reduce fingerprints and smearing. A circular 9-blade diaphragm gives beautiful, soft backgrounds. A zoom lock lever locks the zoom position at the wide end for safe transporting while attached to an EOS DSLR camera over the shoulder.

Features:

Large aperture L-Series standard zoom lens that combines high image quality and enhanced durability. Constant f/2.8 maximum aperture for effective imaging in low light and shallow depth of field.

New optical design utilizes one Super UD lens element and two UD lens elements to minimize chromatic aberration in the outer area at wide-angle; as well as eliminates colour blurring around the edges of the subject, for images with high resolution and contrast.

FAQs

What type of photography is the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM lens best suited for?

The Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM lens is incredibly versatile, making it ideal for a wide range of photography styles including portrait, landscape, event, and wedding photography. The constant f/2.8 aperture allows for excellent low-light performance and the ability to create a shallow depth of field, which is perfect for isolating subjects.

How does the lens perform in low light conditions?

Thanks to its constant f/2.8 maximum aperture, the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM lens excels in low light situations. It allows more light to reach the sensor, which helps to maintain faster shutter speeds and reduces the likelihood of motion blur, making it an excellent choice for indoor or twilight scenes.

What are the benefits of the lens' weather sealing and durability features?

The improved dust sealing and water resistance of the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM lens make it suitable for shooting in challenging environments. This durability allows photographers to confidently capture images in rain or dusty conditions without worrying about damaging the lens.

Can I use this lens for video shooting?

Yes, the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM lens is well-suited for video shooting due to its fast and silent autofocus capabilities, thanks to the ring-type USM and optimized AF algorithms. The ability to achieve a shallow depth of field also enhances the cinematic quality of videos.

What impact do the lens coatings have on image quality?

The optimized lens coatings on the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM help to ensure exceptional colour balance and significantly reduce ghosting and flare. This results in clearer images with better contrast and colour accuracy, particularly in challenging lighting conditions.

How does the manual focus override feature work?

The manual focus override in One-Shot AF mode allows photographers to manually adjust focus even when the camera is set to autofocus. This feature is particularly useful for fine-tuning focus on subjects, ensuring precise control, especially in macro or portrait photography.

What advantages does the nine-blade circular diaphragm offer?

The nine-blade circular diaphragm of the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM lens creates a pleasing bokeh effect, which softens the background and enhances the subject's separation from the environment. This is particularly beneficial for portrait photography where aesthetic background blur is desired.

Is this lens compatible with full-frame and APS-C cameras?

Yes, the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM lens is designed for full-frame Canon DSLR cameras but can also be used on APS-C cameras. When mounted on an APS-C camera, the effective focal length will be approximately 38-112mm due to the crop factor, making it a great option for a variety of shooting scenarios.
