Pros: very sharp even wide open on all focal lengths, high contrasts, solid construction, reliable and fast AF
Cons: expensive, heavy, large 82mm filter thread, vignetting at 24mm (can be easily corrected in postprocessing).
Compared to the old design of its predecessor the short lens hood can't provide much protection.
Opinion: The sharpest standard zoom for full frame. Brilliant colors and contrast.
Expensive and heavy but the produced images are outstanding.
AF hit rate is nearly 100%, fast and reliable.
Compared to the old design of its predecessor (with its 'inverse' zooming) the short lens hood can't provide much protection.
The 82mm filter thread may introduce additional costs for new larger filters.
Pros: very sharp at all settings, great contrast, accurate AF
Cons: filter size, price
Opinion: I lost most of my interest in primes after getting this lens. In fact I will sell my 50mm f/1.4 after getting the zoom. The zoom is really sharp with great contrast and good rendering. My friend has seen the onion ring bokeh from out-of-focus metallic objects, but I have not encountered this yet. I wanted to buy cheaper lenses but in the long run I decided this was still cheaper, lighter, and more convenient than a few primes.
AF is fast and accurate, build is solid, and I like the size of the lens hood... it isn't too obnoxious like the one with the 17-40L. It fits in my bags without having to remove it.
This is subjective, but I also like how it feels in my hands. The rings are well-placed and easy to locate by feel. It balances nicely on a 5D3.
The downside for me is the filters. I hoped to avoid buying more and carrying more than one set, but in the end I think this lens is worth it.

Opinion:I have several L-series lenses, I love them with their strengths and their flaws... This, among all, is not my favorite, it returns images too sharp, all too harsh. The flare is almost non-existent. I would say the only drawback, is the frontal hike. I don't always shoot with tripods, so I don't feel the lack of stabilizer
Cons:None for professional use, for amateur Use Council fixed focal objectives
Opinion:For weddings and events This lens is the best there is in circulation, it is crisp, AF Lightning and gorgeous chromatic rendition. Also fairly light and compact to be an f2.8. It is a "serious" and expensive lens, so for amateur use does not offer much satisfaction, primarily the cost is very challenging (but it is worth them all) so not affordable for everyone, is not stabilized and is only f2.8. For this I think that in the amateur with the fixed there is more fun given the costs more content, more brightness or stabilization, for more "artistic" shots that can be performed calmly, unlike the 24-70 2.8 thought to work in "hurry", Who can not stand too much thinking but must bring the excellent shot at home, because it will be handsomely rewarded.
Opinion:A rock, it gives absolute certainty, it does not mistake a blow. Sure at f2.8 it won't be a dream lens from the magic blurry, though at 70mm it's not bad, but when you need the certainty of bringing home work there are not many alternatives to this superlative quality level. Use it during short trips when I bring a single lens and when the lack of the stabilizer makes it important to use the flash. For targeted outputs I still prefer to stare brighter. No possible comparison with the various "universal" F4. Probably the best 24-70 in circulation. Rated 10 despite being without is.
