I honestly loved the flares I didn’t think they were distracting at all. I personally would’ve kept them, but you did a great job in cleaning them up

Thank you for your very informative videos. I have learned so much from you!!!

Great video, I really loved the fact that on so many of the photos you showed the SOOC image first and then the edited one. What a genius idea :)

Loved the photos!!!! The model is gorgeous 😍

Oooh loved the last location by the garden!!! So pretty

The 24-70mm 2.8 was the only lens I used for 4 years. It served me well and for the most part I think my shots were okay. Agencies, models and clients liked the shots but I always felt that something was missing. I have recently switched to primes, 85 & 50 and I just picked up the 35 1.4. my love for photography has been rekindled. The 35mm might just be my new favorite! Thanks for the inspiration!

I'm glad you liked it :) Yeah I feel the same way, any 24-70 is a fine lens but there's just something missing for me as well. I just love prime lenses too much haha. The closest zoom lens I've gotten to really enjoy using is the Tamron 35-150mm 2.8-4 and the Canon RF 28-70 f2

Love the photos and the sun flair thanks for a great video

Great video, Julia! Loved your model too! Yes, this lens is amazing. I shoot primes, also, but this is my favorite zoom.

I do shoot on 24-70mm f/2.8 mk II. I love using primes but owning 24mm, 35mm, 50mm and 85mm is much more expensive than owning one 24-70mm, which covers three of those focal lengths and is close enough to 85mm for me. Also majority of my photos taken with this lens is taken between 30 and 55mm so I love this lens and I use it like 60% of the time. The location I liked the most was that green ivy wall.

You are the best video maker of the photographers. Most of them are sitting on a chair or walking on a street and talking too much. But you are taking photographs while you are talking. Thank you very much. You are the best!

Sound quality!!! 😍 Best😘

Great video and photos. I do shoot with the 24-70 but mostly when I have to travel. When I’m home, I prefer shooting primes. It’s more a question of weight and convenience than a question of image quality.

Thanks for sharing Julia, fantastic photos as always. I enjoy using the 24-70 2.8 II when I’m out and about given it’s flexibility, though it’s not as much fun to use as a prime lens. Did you prefer using the EF 24-70 f2.8 II, or the RF 28-70 f2?

I love shooting on my 24-70 f2.8 gm when I want to get close or just want to have some fun. When outside or in the dark I prefer to use my 85mm f1.8 because of its higher aperture and also bc I'm very introverted.

Great lens for press photographers when you can't carry around a bunch of primes all day! I used to use the previous version of that lens all the time back in my newspaper days. Very sharp, sturdy and reliable. However, I would prefer a prime if I didn't have to worry about carrying around heavy lenses all day. Two extra stops of light can be pretty handy!

I prefer prime lens 😄 ..PS : love your content

the photos are beautiful.

Love these images! I just purchased the EOS R6 and will be using my "L" series lens on it. Yes, one of the lenses is the 24-70mm L 2.8 I can't wait to line up my first shoot.

Also I find using reflectors and/or fill flash gives a far more predictable & superior result when working on location than Photoshop fixes & you can see what you’re getting at the shoot instead of trying to imagine what the image(s) will look like after they’ve been “fixed” in post!

I love the flexibility of a zoom but like the sharpness and bokeh that comes from a nice prime.

Thank you for this. I find myself always shooting a little over exposed trying to get it as close as I can to the way I want it to turn out but always wish I would have shot it a little darker when editting.

Love your work and your videos. I just picked up this lens and have only had one day to play with it. I feel like you mention bokeh in all the videos I’ve seen but not in this one. Where you pleased with the 24-70’s bokeh? Thank you

Good thing Sigma just announced the 24-70 2.8 for Sony cameras. Excited to start shooting on a zoom lens again!

I stumbled upon this video and I'm very glad I did. I have 4 zooms and 1 prime and was giving thought to purchasing the Sigma 40f1.4 Art to go with my Sigma 105f1.4 Art. I also have the Canon 11-24f4L, the 16-35f2.8L III and the Canon 100-400f4.5-5.6L IS II. Sitting at the back of my dry box, like a spare bottle of tomato sauce at a bar b que, is my least used lens the Canon 24-70f2.8L II. Took it out a while ago and took several photos which I must say have put my Gear Acquisition Syndrome to bed for a while. I'd forgotten how sharp this lens is. Thanks for the reminder.

Hey, Can you try to use manual lens ? Like a vintage lens with unique character, I’ll be preety love it when you make a video for that

Could you do a video comparing every Canon lens in one video? I have a 24-70 now and would love to see which lens I should buy next that will be the biggest difference!

I’ve also recently used the Tamron 35-150 which is a really nice lens and has even more reach, I would go for one of those 2 if I were to do some travelling/street photography and had to choose a zoom 😊

I noticed a huge increase in sharpness when I upgraded from the original 24-70mm f/2.8L to the version 2. I'll probably get the 28-70mm f/2.0L lens next year which will be almost as good as carrying a few prime lenses.

Yeah I have the original 24-70 as well and I remember when I got my first L series prime (85mm f1.2) it made me realise that the original 24-70 back focused quite a lot/wasn't super sharp especially when zoomed out and slowly started using it less and less! Luckily this new one doesn't have that issue, it's truely a beautiful lens

Tamron 35-150 is not f/2.8 for very long, when you zoom in it change very fast to f/4. 35-150 is an exstreme range and can never be as good as the best 24-70.

I love zoom lenses. I have 4 different primes and I almost never use them. But my hobby is not portrets, it is landscape.

I was surprised about how fantastic the crops look! In fact, I would edit a series of ALL crops. The street environment didn’t do anything for me- Now question-in full daylight, illuminated shadows how far off will you be with ANY decent lens on the 5DM4?

This was my only lens in my kit for the longest time. Loved it until I got the 85mm... stared shooting on primes only from there on.

First of all thank you for the video! Mahalia has a very nice face but I think she's very slim! And I wonder about the lens hood. I always use it in the opposite direction on the lens. Can you explain why you use in the transport position? Back to the video, I have only two zoom lenses but 6 fixed focal length. I love my Sigma Art 135 1.8, it works great on my D 750 and the Z6. I mostly use ist for portraits of my two lovely cats. But the nikkor AF-S 85 1.8G is much smaller and lighter than the Sigma 135 1.8. So the 85 often comes with me when I'm on a trip an the weight must be small. For every day photgraphy I use the Nikon Z6 with the Nikkor Z 35 1.8S or the Sigma 50 1.4EX DG HSM(the old one 50mm). On the D 750 I often use the Tamron SP AF 35 1.8 Di VC USD, it's a very compact combination. For the rare moments of landscape photography I have a Nikkor AF-S 20 1.8G. And if I have a very sunny and bright day I use my Sigma Art 24 -105/4 DG OS on either cameras. My Tamron SP 70-300/4-5.6 Di VC USD was a bad buy, I hardly ever use it. But to be honest I'm looking for a 24-70/2.8 that I can use at both cameras. Sometimes there are moments when a 35 mm is too short and a 85 mm is too long.

Great! Thank You. If You need one lens 1. Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L II USM or 2. Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM or 3. Sigma 35mm f1.4 Art? What is your choice?
