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.
