This is my go-to lens. It's almost always on my 5DIII, except when I need a bit more reach. Replaced my 24-105 with this lens and love the IS (gotten sharp images up to 0.5 seconds handheld), great sharpness and color as you would expect from this lens and controlling the zoom range is less cramped...

My husband and I wanted to get a len that can be used when we upgrade our current camera in the near future. I have many friends who are good at pic shooting recommending this same len to use. Very nice work after We tried it, definitely love this purchase!

theonly canon 24-70 with is

Clearly one of the best lenses available out there, and I'm surely not going to be the one who gives a negative review to such a great piece of equipment. If this focal length is the right one for you, then look no further and don't be afraid of buying it because it never fails to impress.

Well an L lens doesn't really need a review, having said that the product is excellent for general photography. Very well for low-light/long duration shots!

As of now, very good value for money! Basicly same image quality as 24_70 f2.8 (from f4) smaller lighter weather dwaling. I LOVE this lens! Macro mode is very usable.

I can only imagine that SLR Gear was unlucky enough to get THREE faulty copies of this lens. Mine (used on a full frame 1-Ds ii) is almost as sharp in the corners as in the centre, even at full aperture, and does not show the terrible corner performance of the SLR gear tests.

Fairly light; practical range of focal lengths; excellent IQ; Image stabilisation; Macro mode

None really

Handling and features Performance Verdict Specification This new entry to Canon's L-series of lenses covers the popular 24-70mm focal range. As it has a constant maximum aperture of f/4 it is available at a lower price than the latest 24-70mm f/2.8 lens and also includes image stabilisation...

Excellent sharpness throughout the range in the centre at maximum aperture; Good build quality; Relatively lightweight; Reasonably low distortion

Quite expensive for a lens with an f/4 maximum aperture; Sharpness at 24mm towards the edges of the frame falls behind performance in the centre of the frame

"The Canon 24-70/4 L IS lens is an excellent lens by just about any standard. It's main (minor) failing is that it is not quite as good as the Canon 24-70/2.8 L II. By any other standard it is a great lens.

Love this lens. Very sharp. Perfect MM range for walk around camera. I however am taking a lot of indoor sports which this lens is just a bit to slow for. On a 5D Makr III at ISO 2000 and speed of 350. It is still to dark. Can brighten post, but you get noise either way.
