Canon EF 24-70mm f2.8 L USM II

The Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM is a professional standard zoom with a constant f/2.8 aperture, built for full-frame EOS cameras. It is a dependable all-round lens for stills and video.

A redesigned optical formula using aspherical elements and UD and Super UD glass keeps sharpness consistent across the frame at all focal lengths. The constant f/2.8 aperture suits low light and gives a usefully shallow depth of field, and the L-series build is made for daily professional use.

It covers 24 to 70mm, focuses as close as 0.38m, weighs about 805g and takes 82mm filters. Ultrasonic autofocus is quiet and quick. On EF-mount cinema bodies and adapted setups it makes a sensible general-purpose zoom, and it pairs with the EF 16-35mm f/2.8L III and a 70-200mm for a full range. It can be used on EF-mount bodies directly or adapted to RF cameras.
