Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM Lens

The Canon EF 24–70mm f/2.8L II USM is a professional-grade standard zoom lens that offers outstanding image quality and exceptional optical performance across a highly versatile focal range. Designed for full-frame Canon EF-mount cameras, it covers wide-angle to short telephoto perspectives, making it ideal for weddings, portraits, landscapes, events, and general-purpose shooting.

Featuring a constant f/2.8 maximum aperture, the lens delivers excellent low-light performance and allows for beautiful background blur (bokeh) with strong subject separation. The advanced optical construction includes one Super UD element and two UD elements, along with three aspherical elements, which work together to minimize chromatic aberrations, distortion, and edge-to-edge softness. Canon’s proprietary Super Spectra Coating is applied to reduce flare and ghosting and ensure high contrast and accurate color reproduction, even in challenging lighting conditions.

Driven by a ring-type Ultrasonic Motor (USM), the autofocus is fast, accurate, and near-silent, while full-time manual focus override offers precise control whenever needed. A 9-blade rounded diaphragm produces smooth, pleasing bokeh for more natural-looking background rendering.

The lens is built to professional standards with a robust, dust- and moisture-resistant design, allowing reliable use in demanding environments. Its solid build quality and weather-sealed construction make it a go-to choice for working photographers who need dependable performance in the field.
