The EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM is one of the most popular DSRL lenses from Canon with the latest advances in optical design. The updated optics provide significant reductions in chromatic aberration and reduced colour blur resulting in less time for image post production. Edge-to-edge sharpness usually only found in prime lenses is visible thanks to three aspherical elements which counteract each of the individual internal aberrations, so images are exceptionally sharp.

The EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM is an L-series lens with a reputation among professional photographers as being the go to zoom option for a variety of subjects including portraits.The zoom boasts sharp optics and the ability to be used in almost any environment. As one of the trinity of fast aperture lenses, it is a perfect companion to any full-frame EOS camera.
