EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM
Meeting the ever-increasing demands on image quality that digital photography brings, the redesigned EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM is the latest update to the acclaimed L-Series of EF optics, re-establishing a new standard for superb optics, high-end durable construction and performance in professional zoom lenses. A standard focal length zoom lens, it features a large aperture throughout its focal length. Featuring the latest advances in optical lens design, it utilizes 1 Super UD lens element and 2 UD lens elements that help minimize chromatic aberration in the periphery at wide-angle as well as reduced color blurring around the edges of the subject. In addition, 2 types of aspherical lenses are combined to help reduce spherical aberration over the entire image area as well as through the full zoom range. Optimized lens coatings also help ensure exceptional color balance while minimizing ghosting. The lens is also equipped with a circular 9-blade diaphragm for beautiful, soft backgrounds. A ring-type USM and high-speed CPU with optimized AF algorithms enable silent and fast autofocusing. Built for the rigors of professional use as well as to meet the increased number of shots available with digital photography, it's constructed with improved dust sealing and water resistance while fluorine coatings on the front and rear lens surfaces help reduce soiling, smears and fingerprints. A zoom lock lever locks the zoom position at the wide end for safe transporting while attached to an EOS DSLR camera over the shoulder.

Before I decided on this lens, I have tried Sigma's 35mm and 50mm and Canon's 35mm L and 50mm L - so as you can see, I gave primes a fair chance to find a place in my photo bag.
Canon's 50mm 1.2 and this lens (24-70) ended up being the front runners simply because I decided that 35mm was not a good fit for my style of photography, and Sigma's 50mm was underwhelming (although I hear rave reviews about good copies of it, but my copy was just all over the place in terms of focus and sharpness).
At 2.8mm, I could see NO difference in image quality between 50mm 1.2 and 24-70 2.8. Neither could my photographer friends, some of whom are also huge prime lovers. This really took me by surprise, given my penchant for primes and the fact that I usually buy into the theory that primes are always better than comparable zooms. The 50mm seemed to render the skin of a doll that I used as my model slightly better (warmer), but the difference was very very subtle. In every other way (bokeh, sharpness, contrast), the pictures looked identical.
So, it came down to extra stops of light vs. extra focal lengths. I really struggled with that choice, because frankly, I encounter the situations where I'd like more light than 2.8 or wider angle than 50mm about equally often, so either way, it'd be a loss for me.
I almost went with 50mm because I figured, I was going to use 24mm and 35mm very rarely (again, just because of my style), I already have 70mm in another lens, so I was really buying just the 50mm, and then I might as well splurge on 50mm 1.2.
What decided me in favor of 24-70 were 2 things:
1. I find f/1.2 and f/1.4 very unforgiving, and I avoid them as much as possible: I have 2 cheaper primes and never use 1.4, I always start with 1.8 in low-light situations, because I know I can get a fair amount of keepers with that. So, really, by going with 50mm 1.2, I was only gaining about 1 workable stop (for me), but losing multiple focal lengths.
2. I did a photoshoot where I purposefully took ONLY 50mm 1.2 with me, to see if I can pull it off. I did. But at one point, I found myself shooting in the shade that was quite close to the street, so I couldn't step further back without being hit by a car. While I still got good shots, it deprived me of a chance to do full-body shots in that location, and I think they would have looked really good. I really missed having 24-70 in that moment.
I also love how (comparatively) light the 24-70mm is. Very manageable (but my other big lens is 70-200 f/4, so I'm used to a little heft around my neck).
So, overall, a fantastic lens: very sharp, beautiful bokeh, very nice contrast, light for a zoom. The most popular negative review of this lens made much a-do about IS, so far, I don't miss it at all. I get many many keepers without IS, and if IS means heavier, than I don't want it anyway (not to mention that the IS version will surely be priced accordingly, and this lens is already way above my original budget).
Let's backtrack a bit. My 1st L lens is a 24mm f/1.4L USM II Prime and I still have this. Then I needed something with a zoom for a vacation we were going to-- enter the 24-105mm f/4L USM. And then someone hired me to do a wedding coverage...
With the reviews I've read, there was only one thing I needed to do, out with the old zoom and in with the new. I thought I could make do with the 24-105mm but I found someone willing to take it off my hands. Thinking about long term, why not? I was impressed with some photos I've seen taken using the 24-70mm f/2.8L USM (version I), so it was safe to assume this one may render the same quality... or even better.
My only direct comparison right now are the outputs from my 24mm f/1.4L USM II Prime. And yes, to some degree, the 24-70mm f/2.8L USM II shoots photos like a prime! Buying this lens actually made me think twice about keeping my prime because sometimes having it may be redundant. But, with the falling price of this prime, I'm not sure if I want to take the hit as opposed to keeping a f/1.4 that really comes handy in low light situations. I'd probably faint once Canon launches a version with an IS, which I heard is coming out pretty soon-- late 2013, early 2014?
Overall, this lens is superb and I'm always excited when using it. If you can wait it out until the one with the IS comes out, wait. In my case, the wedding I'll be doing is coming up before that so here I am 'suffering' with this lens in my hand.
07/24/13 UPDATE:
Signed another wedding client after showing some sample wedding-themed shots using this lens. Meeting with a prospective client to do senior photos in August.
Also, if any of you got wind of the weather down in Orlando, FL in the early weeks of June this year then let me tell you that Canon wasn't joking when they said "weather-sealing" (with filter of course, your camera should have weather-sealing too). I was 'forced' to test it out so you guys won't have to, but in case you're as 'adventurous' as myself then feel free to do so. :)
Brought this lens with my prime but stored the latter in a safety box in a Disney World hotel 5 days out of 6. In fairness to my prime, it just didn't suit my needs at the time due to absence of a zoom. So far, I would still recommend this zoom lens with financial considerations aside.

Used it extensively on a recent trip and got wonderful results.
You fix it on your camera and rarely feel the need for another lens
