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

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

Price (MSRP): $1099
Type: Zoom Lens - Standard
Submitted by: Steve from St.Cloud, MN
Date Reviewed: 4/22/2008
Months Owned: 1-5
Photos Taken: Less than 500
Skill Level: Pro

What's Hot: Fast and quiet AF

What's Not: It's heavy, kind of pricey too. Be prepared to make the investment.

Review: Love it so far. This will be my primary lens for weddings and other events as it allows non-intrusive photography (no flash in relatively low light). It is quiet and AF is also fast. I have had no issues as of yet. This is my 2nd L series lens and I am now a firm believer in that you get what you pay for. Save your money and make the investment
