Canon EF 24-70mm F2.8L USM - An Optical Masterpiece
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 »
Wider really is better...
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!
CONSTRUCTION
The construction of this lens is beautiful...

The best 4 star lens I have ever seen.
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! Even though this lens has a relatively short zoom compared to the mondo zooms that are being sold... Read full review »
Sharp, nice images, robust lens -- my favorite
I had an excellent experience with my Canon G3 since I acquired it in the summer of 2003. However, after taking thousands of photos with that camera, I realized I needed more flexibility when shooting people and places. In particular, I needed a camera that allowed me to take faster photos -- in... Read full review »
Not exactly an L class lens in my book, but still a good performer.
Most digital photographers have a dirty little secret. While we take stunning quality photos at up to 6 megapixels or better with our big digital SLR's, we're severely crippled in the wide angle photography department. Most digital SLR cameras have sensors smaller than a 35mm frame, and therefore... Read full review »
Amazing lens
I have used this lens on my 30D for a bit now. The quality on this lens is amazing and i get sharp pictures everytime. The image quality that this lens produces is great in my opinion. I switched from the 18-55 kit lens which felt like a toy. Although this did have a heavy pricetag, you get what... Read full review »
heavy weight lens
This lens is a heavy weight both in that it is as good it gets when it comes to color and contrast and its weight.
But, if you can stand to carry it, you will be glad you did. It is often called, the wedding photographer lens because of its quality and range.
It has a very fast...

Recommended for wedding photographers
After 35 years of shooting mainly with prime lenses I broke down and purchased my first wide angle zoom and a L-series at that and I have no regrets. Compared with my Canon 24, 28, 35, 50 and 85 primes this lens is very good and in a few cases better than the primes, but then again it did cost... Read full review »
Spectacularly Sweet!
A few weeks ago I wrote a very favorable review for the Canon 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6mm IS USM lens. The title of my review was, "I'll Never Sell This Lens". Well, I'll stand by that review, I will never sell it, but I will give it away to one of my daughters (she is very pleased). My generosity is... Read full review »
The 24-70 f2.8L
snoboarder has very accurately described it so far.
I can only add that I too enjoy the feel and size used on my Canon 30D.
I just attended a snowmobile show in Mpls Mn, and this format worked perfect.
I have to admit the kit lens 18-55 gets you started, but in reality I...
