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?

One of the least boring camera reviews I've ever seen. Informative and entertaining
Well that was a great start to the video to have my sound on really high...

3:15 "I Like that lady's pose... Wide open." Ahahaha
I have been following couple of videos from you and I should say, you are amazingly good... Thanks for sharing all your reviews and I am totally enjoying it...
Kai's sense of humor is awesome. "Look alamby is showing some legs today"
I've just ordered this, can't wait to use it!
I am still rocking a 28-70mm 2.8L :) Woo!!! Fantastic pictures!

I just bought my first 28-70 i cant wait to shoot it
You are literally the funniest person ever I can’t stop watching your videos. So many good quotes 😂😂😂
Kai, thank you for this wonderful review. I also have the older one.
loved the reverse zoom design of the old lens and that the hood attached to the body of the lens instead of the extending zoom part, shame they couldn't keep that.
omg. I've seen this guy do a lot of reviews, and never have i heard him say "I've gizzed my pants"

There is one video where he compares the 7D 5D and t2i or t3i. When he tries the 9fps photo burst of the 7D, he says it
This is the review I've been waiting for.
So happy! I ordered mine today! So excited for it to be mine soon :)
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.
Loved the humor mate! I jittered in my pants
ahh the long awaited review!
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.
What lav mic are you guys using to record with. Sounds stellar each time.
I like that lady's pose, wide open! LOL Anybody ever notice how the videos go straight from him taking to the picture to showing the picture, but then never showing the aftermath of him taking the picture? I wanna see their faces!
I have this lens and i love it. It's great with the Canon EOS film SLR as well with the 5D Mark iii. I have both film and digital Canon EOS SLR 35mm cameras. It's very nice to shoot with slide film with this lens.
THAT'S THE LENS I'VE BEEN DREAMING 'BOUT
The image stabilization on the Tamron is really fantastic. I wish that Canon had included it on this lens.
Sometimes I watch these videos 2nd and 3rd time just to laugh at Kai's humor. I think he can make a career out of it.
Very enjoyable video presenting relevant facts…thanks for your humour 😝
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
I like the new related videos at the end!
I watch other reviews and I have to say Kai, Lok and Alamby are definitely the reason people love this "show".
Love the intro!
is it parabolic like the old lens? Meaning can you zoom in and focus and zoom out and it keeps focus?
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 ;-)
that old 24-70 looks like it'd been through a life with Kai- probably dropped a few times.
the shutter sound of the new 5d is awesome
I would love to see more of the intern - Theo - in your videos. :D
I heard this lens is amazing for film making, is this true? also what lense is your camera man shooting with and what do you recommend for film making using dslrs?
Great start to a video, very original usually that happens at the end of the video.
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?
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?
Nice Review!
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.
All they had to do was add IS and this would be a dream lens!

It's true, it's not as sharp, however, the difference is not significant and considering the price the Tamron is better value for money.

You can get this lens on preholiday sale now with a rebate on www.photolg.com/CanonEF24-70mmf2.8L
just got mines yesterday.... but cant really tell how much of a difference from the first... i'm sure there is a reason for the price premium if anything the first cost just about the same when it was released... Right?
I'm thinking of getting this lens. what should i get, i have the 17-40 f/4L. I'm stuck for this lens or the 100mm 2.8L macro. which should i get
Nice! Looks like they just recently put it up. Wishes do come true! Thanks for the info :)
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.
Hey Kai, could you please test the new Tamron 24-70, which has also an image stabilizer and, thus, may be also suitable for Lok to shoot proper videos with it?
Should I trade in my 85 1.2II for this or should I just keep it and save
could u do a review on alternatives like the sigma 24-70 or 17-50mm?
Pentax K-5 IIs comes out next month. Review it? (It's an AA filterless, updated K-5)
"You Get What You Paid For" -Kai W
Hi,Kai, I got Canon EF 70-300m 1:4-5.6l lens , just want to know it is a good lens for taking a video ?
I just bought a 5D Mark iii. Should I go this lens or the 70-200 IS? Non pro, lots of architecture, landscapes, night scares and some portraits.
How do you get all the cameras and lenses!?
does this have a full time manual focus ring?
Hey, Kai, when could you do a video of the new 6D or the Nikon D600?
kai when will you review new m4/3 lenses? panny 12-35 f2.8 and oly 75mm f1.8
how about a review on the new iPhone 5 's 8MP camera with iSight and review the specs and features of the iPhone 5
7:44 - Did you have lens abberration correction turned on during the shoot? Perhaps color fringing was corrected at the camera level. I would like to know if the fringing is apparent without correction.
do a video about full frame and cross sensor and what that means with different lenses please! thanks!
Can you review the Tamron 24-70mm f2.8 please? Vs the Canon 24-70mm Mark I and II?
Appreciate if you can describe the camera settings too..
Construction zone! It's been so long since you've been to one! Way to get back to the roots.
What should I get the canon ef 135mm L or the 24-105mm L
Will you review this vs. the Tamron 24-70???
When is The 70d or 7d mk ii coming out ?
How does the quality feel like?
What lens is Lok using to film here?
is this lens better for video compared to the 24-105mm f4?
sir can i ask u what the best lenses(for eos 5d mk iii) for wildlife,sport or a concert?

Hiya, I have a question about SLR cameras that takes video. It seems Canon does the best, what do you guys think is the best body to buy if I am using it for equal pictures and video for a good price. Canon 60D is out of my price range :( and I want to use 50mm lens
Can you do a comparison on the Tamron 24-70 VC and this one?
That was the most poshest wording of somebody saying they jizzed there pants.
I am try to a camera. Which camera i am use better protrat photography for me. Canon 6d original?? And canon 6d mark ii?? Please answer for me.
Which mic do you use in these video?
very nice t-shirt Kai !!!!!!!!!!:)
hi digitalrev can i ask hows ths zoom ring of this mark 2 is it stiff or smooth for videos if ever? thank you..

Review of the Blackmagic Cinema camera in the future? :D
You don't NEED it like you do on the 70-200, but it would be useful. I have the EF-S 17-55 IS USM and I love the extra 3 stops of exposure that IS provides.
buying mine next week !!
Hey Digitalrev! Do a review on the Nikon D600!
Have been looking at all your post. one question i have is can you use an ef full frame L lens on a crop sensor 7D body anddoest it effect the picture quality
Is there is on the new one?
Great review. Can you also do a review and comparison of the Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 DI VC USD Lens for those of us who don't have an extra $2300 laying around? Or do a shootout of the Canon, Sigma & Tamron 24-70 lenses.
This might be a stupid question but... will this lens give me the picture sharpness of the various sizes the same as the standard size would? For example will the 50mm on this lens be the same quality as the 50mm 1.2 ??
Hey... which lens is using the filmer? :)
does this fit the T3i?
It makes sense for it to be longer when wide open, because the lens hood attaches further back and won't be in the frame because it doesn't move out with the lens.
how does it compare with tamron 24-70mm f 2.8 vc?
Can you review the Tamron 24-70 f/2.8 vc?
It's always like this when videos are new.
Is this excellent lens for video?
deciding on a standard zoom lens is pretty tough. ive been trying to figure out what to get for 2 weeks now. the tamron has IS and is much cheaper, but the canon is sharper and has FAR less distortion. i know i can fix distortion but you can't fix sharpness.

go get the canon if u have the money ....becoz it's far way better than the tamron ~
Canon EF 24-70mm f / 2.8L II I decided to buy this lens; But esta has no image Stabilization and my question is not recorded on camera video Much would affect me to take pictures? Or stabilization is only for movies
I'm going to have a fundraiser campaign and try and get Mr. Bokehlicious a camera strap!! Kai--you always make me so nervous w/o your c-strap on! I guess you got your 5D swag down pat! I think I will rent this lens this month to try it out at a wedding!
Wished you guys can make a review on the Tamron 24-70 2.8 VC〜!
Seems odd that the mk 1 is backwards,on extension its 24 mm,but when retracted it 70mm.Is there any logical reason for this?.
best opening line ever
I actually shot with the same set up he has. It was great. I highly enjoyed it
