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

Traverse a famous and all-around range of focal lengths, the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM is an L-series zoom known as the workhorse of lenses. Ranging from wide-angle to portrait-length, this lens is also renowned for its continuous f/2.8 maximum aperture to help to work in harsh lighting conditions and to produce better control over the depth of field. The lens is also featured by its experienced optical design, which consists of one Super UD element and two UD elements, which minimize color fringing and chromatic aberrations in order to achieve a better degree of color accuracy and clarity. Three aspherical elements are also induced and reduce distortion and spherical aberrations for refined sharpness. Additionally, a Super Spectra coating has been applied to the lens to command flare and ghosting for high contrast and neutral color fidelity.

Stabilizing the refined optics, this 24-70mm f/2.8 also supports a ring-type USM and internal focusing mechanism to allow fast, silent, and precise autofocus performance, as well as full-time manual focus override. Additionally, this lens is weather-resisted and has a protective fluorine coating on the exposed elements for use in trying environmental conditions.

• Standard zoom is made for full-frame Canon EF-mount DSLRs, however is compatible with APS-C models where it produces a 38.4-112mm equivalent focal length range.

• Bright constant f/2.8 maximum aperture produces continuous illumination all around the zoom range and also provides better control over the depth of field for working with selective focus techniques.

• One Super Ultra-Low Dispersion element and two ultra-low dispersion glass elements broadly minimize color fringing and chromatic aberrations for achieving better clarity and color fidelity.

• Three aspherical elements reduce spherical aberrations and distortions for upgraded sharpness and accurate rendering.

• Super Spectra coating has been coated to the lens to reduce ghosting and flare for better contrast and color neutrality while working in powerful lighting conditions.

• A ring-type Ultrasonic Motor together with an internal focusing design advanced focusing algorithms, and a high-speed CPU is working to deliver quick, accurate, and silent autofocus performance as well as full-time manual focus override.

• The rounded nine-blade diaphragm helps to achieve the out-of-focus quality that comforts the use of shallow depth of field and selective focus techniques.

• A protective fluorine coating has been applied to the front and backend element to outlast fingerprints and smudges and to make cleaning these elements significantly easier.

• As a member of the esteemed L-series, this lens is sealed against dust and moisture for working in inclement environmental conditions.

• The zoom lock lever connects the zoom position at the wide end to maintain a small form factor and protect the lens while you are not using it.
