EF 24–70mm f/2.8L II USM
A versatile and impressively sharp standard zoom lens
Meeting the ever-increasing demands on image quality that digital photography
brings, the redesigned EF 24–70mm f/2.8L II USM is the latest update to the
acclaimed L-Series of EF optics, re-establishing a new standard for superb
optics, high-end durable construction and performance in professional zoom
lenses. A standard focal length zoom lens, it features a large aperture
throughout its focal length. Featuring the latest advances in optical lens
design, it utilizes 1 Super UD lens element and 2 UD lens elements that help
minimize chromatic aberration in the periphery at wide-angle as well as reduced
color blurring around the edges of the subject. In addition, 2 types of
aspherical lenses are combined to help reduce spherical aberration over the
entire image area as well as through the full zoom range. Optimized lens
coatings also help ensure exceptional color balance while minimizing ghosting.
The lens is also equipped with a circular 9-blade diaphragm for beautiful, soft
backgrounds. A ring-type USM and high-speed CPU with optimized AF algorithms
enable silent and fast autofocusing. Built for the rigors of professional use as
well as to meet the increased number of shots available with digital
photography, it's constructed with improved dust sealing and water resistance
while fluorine coatings on the front and rear lens surfaces help reduce soiling,
smears and fingerprints. A zoom lock lever locks the zoom position at the wide
end for safe transporting while attached to an EOS DSLR camera over the
shoulder.
