The Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM is a highly versatile and popular zoom lens from Canon’s L-series, designed for full-frame Canon EF-mount DSLRs. It offers a range of focal lengths from wide-angle to portrait-length, with a constant f/2.8 maximum aperture that delivers excellent performance in low-light environments and provides greater control over depth of field for creative photography. The lens features an advanced optical design, incorporating one Super Ultra-Low Dispersion (Super UD) element and two Ultra-Low Dispersion (UD) elements to minimize color fringing and chromatic aberrations, ensuring high clarity and color fidelity. Three aspherical elements help reduce distortion and spherical aberrations for sharp, accurate rendering.
To further enhance image quality, the lens is equipped with a Super Spectra coating on individual elements, which helps reduce flare and ghosting, ensuring better contrast and color neutrality, even in challenging lighting conditions. The EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM also offers fast, quiet, and precise autofocus performance, thanks to its ring-type Ultrasonic Motor (USM), internal focusing mechanism, and high-speed CPU, with optimized autofocus algorithms. Full-time manual focus override gives the user complete control when needed.
The lens is weather-sealed, offering protection against dust and moisture, and features a fluorine coating on the front and rear elements to resist smudges and fingerprints, making it easier to clean. Additionally, the zoom lock lever helps secure the lens at the wide end, protecting it from damage when not in use and maintaining a compact form factor.
