Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L II Hands-on Review

Ғылым және технология

We take a look at Canon's updated 24-70mm f/2.8 L USM lens(bit.ly/1ro1BwT). The Mark II(bit.ly/Canon5Dmk2) seems pretty good on paper, but is it worth the extra cash?

    I currently own the 70-200 ii It is an INCREDIBLE lens The build quality is all metal so I would say its better in that part. The optical quality can not be beat period. I have pictures of horses at 15+ yards and when you crop you can pick out flies and gnats in detail buzzing about.

    Nice comparison - I have the old 24-70L, and it's a great lens. From what I've seen so far from various reviews, there's little incentive for me to upgrade. It's 2x the old price, no IS, and although it does have more resolution (to be expected after 10 years), it makes it tough to justify purchasing. The Tamron version is literally 1/2 the price of the new lens and has IS, which makes it a nice alternative.

    At that focal length, you are usually doing landscape or portrait photography. If you really stop down below 1/8 second shutter speed, you get a tripod for landscape or a flash gun for portrait. Alternatively increase the ISO to add extra stops of light

    Dear DigitalRev, as usual another interesting review. Very good idea to show the difference in photographs between the I en II version, please more of that. One note on the side though: on the DigitalRev-shop the filter you mention to buy with the lens is a 77mm and, as your very cool streetphotographer says in the clip: it's a 82mm lens ;-)

    Well I guess this lens would find its great use as technology progress forward. We definitely need better glass for higher resolution sensor and future computer screen. However, as for now, most users will probably find sharp images to be sharp enough. Is your 24 TS-E mark 1 or mark 2? I honestly find it hard to imagine a lens that is noticeably sharper than 70-200mm F2.8 IS II. I saw few sample pics on PoTN and so far have not found it amazing. Would you mind to share some pictures with me?

  • @darrenchandlercoaching

    What pictures are you missing out on by not reducing the shutting speed from 1/6400 to something like 1/400, so that the ISO can come down from 1600 to 100?

    I really don't know why Canon changed the lens from the reverse zoom. it was such a brilliant design. Not only did it give the hood the right coverage for the focal length you were at but it protected the lens much better and fixed it's length when a hood was attached.

    With all the AF speed complaints on the X-Pro1, any chance you'll test it soon with the new firmware 2.00? My 5D and 50 1.4 went in the ocean recently, and I'm thinking of taking the opportunity to sell all my Canon stuff and switch to the X-Pro 1, but am a bit worried with all that Kai has said about the AF, which the firmware supposedly fixes.
