Description

Filter size: 77 mm, Closest Focusing Distance: 1.25 feet. From the Manufacturer The Canon EF 24-70mm standard zoom lens does what many pros thought couldn't be done--it replaces the L-series 28-70mm f/2.8 lens with something even better. The lens offers extended coverage to an ultra- wide-angle 24mm, making it ideal for digital as well as film shooters. The new processing unit, meanwhile, makes the autofocus (AF) faster than ever. And thanks to the two aspherical elements and a totally new UD glass element, the optics are far superior to the earlier lens. Sealed and gasketed against dust and moisture, the EF 24-70mm lens carries a one-year warranty. Focal length: 24-70mm Maximum aperture: 1:2.8 Lens construction: 16 elements in 13 groups Diagonal angle of view: 74 to 29 degrees Focus adjustment: Front-focusing method Closest focusing distance: 1.25 feet Zoom system: Rotating type Filter size: 77mm Dimensions: 3.3 inches in diameter, 4.9 inches long Weight: 2.1 pounds The Canon EF 24-70mm standard zoom lens does what many pros thought couldn't be done--it replaces the L-series 28-70mm f/2.8 lens with something even better.

I enjoy landscape, travel and macro photography and felt the 24-70 4L IS USM would be a good fit for me. Here's what I thought about it after several months of use. BUILD is excellent: quality plastics, weather seals, attractive semi-matte finish and sturdy metal mount. Electrical switches are beefy and nearly impossible to inadvertently change. The ribbed rubber zoom and focus rings are large and grippy, and positioned similarly to my 17- 40L and 70-200 4L IS. Appearance is similar to the 24-105L but slightly shorter and lighter. It feels solid and balanced on my 6D. FOCUS is internal so the barrel doesn't rotate or change in length. AF is blazing fast and accurate on my 6D. Manual focus is always active (no switch flip required), smooth and finely pitched, allowing precise adjustments. ZOOMING is accomplished via a single nested barrel. Zoom action is smooth but slightly stiff between 50 and 70. There is no zoom drift when pointed up or down so the barrel lock at 24mm seems superfluous. However, zooms tend to loosen with use so maybe I'll appreciate the lock a few years from now. OPTICAL PERFORMANCE at F4 is sharp edge to edge. Center frame is similar to my 24-105 4L but corners are vastly improved. The best overall performance is at 24mm and 70mm, with slight deterioration at 50mm. This lens required +5 Microadjustment (MA) at 24mm for optimal sharpness (was front focusing). The long end was tack sharp at default (0). In contrast, my 24-105 4L is sharp at defaults (0) and required no MA on my 6D or 5D MKII. There is a small amount of light falloff or corner darkening at 24mm and F4 but noticeably better in this regard than the 24-105 4L. Light falloff at 70mm is about the same as the 24-105L. Stopping down to F5.6 renders light falloff inconsequential. I don't notice light falloff unless testing on a white wall. The most noticeable improvement over the 24-105L is the near absence of barrel distortion at 24mm. My ocean horizons are true! Chromatic Aberration (CA) is also reduced: a tiny amount of color fringing is visible via pixel peeking in corners at 24mm, but almost nothing at longer settings. It certainly bests my 24-105 4L in this regard. Sunsets, spotlights and other bright light sources exhibit little to no flare. Flare resistant is markedly better than the 24-105L, making blazing Hawaiian sunsets a snap! However, use of the included EW-82L hood is recommended for protection from stray light, raindrops and doggie noses. This hood sports rayon flocking, matte black paint matched to the lens and petal cutouts. It has a lock release button but is a little loose and will come off with a light whack or firm rub on a beer gut. I prefer the snug fit of the EW-82H, the OEM hood for the 24-105 4L IS USM. And, yes, the EW-82H fits the 24-70 4L perfectly albeit slightly deeper. There is absolutely no vignette so it's staying on my 24-70 4L. Macro results are impressive at .7x, making it ideal for flowers, small products and artwork. Press and hold the macro switch while turning the zoom past 70mm to engage macro range. Combined with Hybrid Image Stabilization I got sharp free standing flower shots I normally need a tripod for. I still prefer a tripod for such shots but being able to get a sharp impromptu macro is a wonderful feature for travelers. IMAGE STABILIZATION (IS) gave me three additional stops of hand holdable range at 70mm, sometimes four on a good day (no coffee and 8 hours sleep!). The big deal is Hybrid Image Stabilization compensating for both up-and-down and swaying forward and back movements. The swaying back and forth movement often foiled my attempts at shooting museum artwork where tripods weren't allowed, so a welcome feature along with auto panning mode. In a quiet room, I can't hear the IS mechanism while using the camera. IS is only audible if I place my ear directly on the lens. So quieter than the IS unit in the 24-105 4L USM (audible as soft grinding in quiet rooms). LAST BLURB: I had to calibrate (MA) this lens for optimal sharpness. Once dialed in, images were satisfyingly sharp, contrasty and vivid from edge to edge. The game changer--and the main reason to pick this lens over the 24-105L--is the macro and Hybrid IS features. It's basically two lenses in one--normal zoom and macro--and lets me leave my macro lens at home when traveling light. Finally, the most frequent criticism of this lens is the high selling price ($1499). As of August 31, 2014, Canon reduced MAP to $999, making this a darn sweet deal. ... show more

    • Great lens with nice macro ability
Style: 24-70mm f/4.0L
Great versatile lens. This lens is great if you need a mid range zoom with some macro capability. The macro feature on this lens is better than most zoom lens that purport to have a macro ability. It is not as good as a true macro, reaching only 0.7 magnification, but it is a nice feature to be able to have without switching to a true macro lens. The macro feature allows (and requires) you to get very close to your subject, within inches. This can make lighting with a flash difficult and is not practical for some living subjects, but for stationary subjects, it is fine. The lens is great for full-frame and is as sharp as can be expected. Pair this lens with a telephoto and that is all you would need for most causal shooting. It is pretty compact and balances well on a full-frame. It has a pretty close focus distance of 1.25' which is great for getting in close to your subject. Obviously the zoom range is less than a 24-105 or 28-135; that might be an issue for some, but for most shooting, you will have a telephoto lens handy for the longer shots. The IS works great which means for low light with a high ISO the lens is very usable. But with the f4 it still wont be as fast as the more expensive f2.8 in low light conditions. For most shooters though the high ISO of cameras now combined with the great IS will be sufficient for the majority of shooting situations. On a crop sensor the lens still performs great, and balances well on the higher quality (and heavier) cameras like the 70d. However, it is not wide due to the 1.6x crop factor. It is sharper than the 18-135 IS STM, but that lens is plenty sharp and offers a much wider zoom range on a crop body. The reason to use this on a crop body would be for the excellent build quality, weather sealing, and most importantly, (I think) the macro feature. If getting in close and getting close to 1:1 (0.7 as I said before) is important without needing to carry a dedicated macro lens, than this lens could make sense on a crop body. Especially if the wide shots are not as important or you are carrying the 10-22mm or the new 10-18mm STM ... show more
