Product Description

This new lens does what many pros thought couldn't be done - replace the previous L-series 28-70 f/2.8 lens with something even better. Extended coverage to an ultra-wide angle 24mm makes it ideal for digital as well as film shooters, and the optics are even better than before with two Aspherical elements and a totally new UD glass element. It's now sealed and gasketed against dust and moisture, and a new processing unit makes the AF faster than ever. Zoom System - Rotating type Filter Size - 77mm Max. Diameter x Length, Weight - 3.3 x 4.9, 2.1lbs. / 83.2 x 123.5mm, 950g Item includes - 77mm Snap-On Lens Cap; Lens Dust Cap E (Rear); EW-83F Lens Hood for 24-70 f/2.8L Lens; LP1219 Soft Lens Case, Canon 1-Year Warranty

5.0 out of 5 stars Best lens out there October 5, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase
"The Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L USM Lens is an impressively high performing zoom lens. I regard it as one of the best general purpose lenses available and for the same reasons, it is one of the most-professionally-used Canon lenses. The 24-70 L is as good as it gets in this focal length range. " www.the-digital-picture.com.

I have nothing more to say, just read all the reviews out there! Perfect Lens!

5.0 out of 5 stars As good as a lens gets! April 14, 2010
This lens is the gold standard that every other lens is compared to.

Read any review (other than the previously posted one) and you will see that this is the perfect lens.
I gave the "portability" 4 stars only because 16 elements is going to be a little on the heavy side!

This is a must have lens in any camera bag, if you are serious about your photography

Superb rendition of color. Superb contrast.

I wish this fat boy could lose a little weight and it's my only critique.
