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

The technical Details Behind This Lens

This Canon L-series lens is popularly known as the workhorse of lenses. The Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L II USM Lens offers a versatile range of focal lengths, ranging from wide-angle to portrait-length. With this lens, you are free to experiment with different photography applications. Thanks to its sophisticated optical design, you can shoot carefree without worrying about the image and video output quality.

The refined optics, sturdy design and impressive features of this lens contribute to delivering class apart, bright and vivid images. Additionally, the lens is weather-sealed and secured with a special coating on every individual element. This makes it easy to use the lens in inclement shooting conditions, too. The lens is designed for full-frame Canon EF-mount DSLRs, and is also compatible with APS-C models, where it provides an equivalent focal length range of 38.4-112mm.

Top Three Reasons We Think You Will Love The Lens

• The bright constant f/2.8 maximum aperture offers consistent illumination throughout the zoom range while giving you the flexibility to control the depth of field when working with selective focus techniques.
• The lens features a zoom lock lever, using which you can secure the zoom position at the end. This helps maintain the compactness of the lens and also protects it when not in use.
• The front and rear elements of the lens are equipped with a protective fluorine coating to shield the lens from fingerprints and smudges. With this special coating, cleaning the elements is significantly easier.

Sharp and True Imaging

The lens features one super ultra-low dispersion element and two ultra-low dispersion glass elements, which noticeably reduce colour fringing and chromatic aberrations for higher clarity and colour fidelity. Additionally, there are three aspherical elements that cut down spherical aberrations and distortions, delivering improved sharpness and accurate rendering.

Every special element in this lens has the Super Spectra coating. This minimises the effects of ghosting and flare, offering greater contrast and colour neutrality, especially when working in strong lighting conditions. Further, you have the nine-blade rounded diaphragm that contributes to pleasant out-of-focus image quality.

Fast Autofocus

The lens offers a focal length range of 24 to 70mm, with the aperture range spanning from f/2.8 to f/22. The minimum focusing distance of the lens is 38cm, and it offers a maximum magnification of 0.21x.

The lens has an in-built ring-type Ultrasonic Motor (USM) along with an exceptional internal focusing design, optimised focusing algorithms and a high-speed CPU. These features contribute to the quick, accurate and precise performance of the lens.

Our Expert's Opinion

If you are looking for a fast and precise lens that is well-suited for a wide range of photographic applications, this one from Canon is perfect. The weather-sealed design of this lens makes it suitable for outdoor shooting, so you can easily carry it along for your adventure expeditions. Despite all the features it is loaded with, the lens is pretty lightweight and compact. It comes at a pocket-friendly price and is a complete value-addition to your photography kit.
