Cons: My copy was not sharp. Overpriced for the speed and features.
Opinion: I must have gotten a lemon. I could not get a sharp image out of mine. I could not even detect precise focus at 10x liveview, which is normally quite easy for the rest of my lenses. I returned it and bought the 24-70 f/2.8L II, which is outstanding. Enough other people are happy that I'm sure I just had a bad copy.
In use, I did not find the macro setting useful because it was too close to light the subject.
The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.
Opinion:Personally I think it is the best of its range. Sharp and compact, and also equipped with a convenient macro function. Spectacular even at f.4.Il focal range is the one that is used the most, so as to be able to take advantage of all the quality of the lens, being a short lens. In my opinion one of the most successful lenses of Canon.Versatile and well built, in fact it is tropicalized. It fully deserves the "red headband" of the "L" series.
Pros:colors, sharpness, macro possibility, stabilizer, quality /price, AF
Cons:None (use on 70D)
Opinion:A zoom with a very high image quality and construction. Amazing sharpness already from TA and really good stabilizer. The value for money is very good. I can't think of any other lens that manages to have the same quality in this range. I can't detect any cons. I have been using it for 5 years on 70D and now that I would like to change the system the idea of no longer having this lens is what blocks me the most.
Pros:Compactness, solidity, sharpness, IS stabilizer, macro possibility. Price not exaggerated.
Cons:Nothing, knowing what you buy.
Opinion:Excellent all-rounder goal, built according to L standards and therefore without weak parts. The focal lengths cover the "classic" ones of the fixed lenses in vogue years ago (24mm, 28mm, 35mm, 50mm, 70mm). They may seem a little small if we compare them to those of much more far-reaching objectives; on the contrary, the limited excursion is just its strong point. In fact it was not necessary to do optical "acrobatics" to design it and the consequence is that the yield is very good and uniform (especially diaphragm to f8) from wide angle to medium. The stabilizer (quiet and effective) adds an additional positive feature. It is between the very expensive 24-70 f 2.8 and the 24-105 f4, resulting in a very valid compromise.
Opinion:I also owned 24 70 2.8 first and second series and 24 105 (two copies) then resold. I am not a lover of all-rounder zooms but I have to say that this 24 70 surprised me and is the only one I didn't want to resell. The smallest in the series (and it is a plus not least), impressed me for the little distortion present at 24 mm (unlike the 24 105), for the excellent overall sharpness (to be approached and very much the 24 70 2.8II) and for the excellent Macro function that absurdly makes it the most all-rounder in the series. I didn't experience field curvature issues for the photos I take. I can't find a real minus the f4 iris, when I need open diaphragms I just snap bright lenses. For me, a really good compromise.
