Pros: Optical quality, speed, sharpness, bokeh, stabilization

Cons: Weight, price

Opinion: Almost perfect lens. Perfection is only a handful of grams and millimeters less. The EF model is in fact a little lighter and more compact (RF gains the stabilizer). Unquestionably excellent optical quality. Chromatic aberrations never seen and flare contained. I point out a very small gap between zoom in and zoom out.

Pros: Speed, precision, sharpness, bokeh, stabilization, distortion and quietness

Cons: Vignetting accentuated at 24mm - f / 2.8, flare, stabilization selectors and focus on the barrel a little soft.

Opinion: On this version compared to the previous one (which I had) they managed to insert an excellent stabilization while maintaining the same weight and size. Many merits including the silence and speed of the auto focus also useful for videomakers. Vignetting is sometimes accentuated and also requires two-stop corrections which accentuates the noise in the correct areas (this at 24mm f/2.8). Another small fetto are the selectors that are a bit soft because sometimes when I take it out of the bag they move. The Flare is there can sometimes be pleasant and sometimes annoying, the little brother RF 24-105 f / 4 on this side is a little better. I tried the Sigma 24-70 f / 2.8 Art that optically found it very sharp but it was too noisy x video and too heavy, I also tried the Tamron 24-70 f / 2.8 G2 and I appreciated the silence but not the accuracy af because at 70mm the photos were all out of focus even correcting with the TAP on R5. This lens costs but is by far the best compared to the others and never fails!

Pros: Sharpness, bokeh, 8-stop stabilization with mirrorless compatible. Tropicalized. 18-point light points

Cons: the Cost, but worth them all the money spent to buy it

Opinion: It is a lens to say the least fantastic, you remain open-mouthed for its sharpness on the whole frame and at all focal lengths and apertures. It is one of those optics that remains indispensable for life. It has a beautiful bokeh and in combination with compatible mirrorless (for example I have the Canon R6MarkII reviewed here: https://www.juzaphoto.com/recensione.php?l=it&t=canon_eos_r6ii ) comes to 8 native stops of image stabilization, managing to shoot handheld even in those conditions that previously allowed you only the tripod. Also for me it is the best 24-70 ever produced by Canon ... The weight? You get used to it quickly and do not create fatigue problems even after long intense work sessions. Even the flares (which someone complained about) I found them well corrected by the anti-reflective treatment. Truly responsive and fast and quiet autofocus does not transmit noise to the chassis for video shooting. The additional customizable dial is a useful plus to assign commands to the need. Being an L series (badge of the red ring) it is tropicalized. For lovers of night photos, in the light points, it makes beautiful and sharp 18-pointed stars. The only negative aspect is the cost (well 2499 euros, but with Canon's Winter cashback you recover 150 euros) but I can assure you that it is worth all the money spent to buy it. Thank you if you have had the patience to read this brief review of mine up to here. Follow me on IG: @zilaghe

Pros: Construction

Cons: Value for money

Opinion: I am a little sorry not to be able to express an enthusiastic judgment of this lens unlike the many that preceded this mine. It is built in an excellent way and the quality of the images is good but this is not enough to justify the price, the EF 24-70/2.8 L II version gives completely overlapping results at much lower costs. Of the RF series I think a better purchase the 24-105 that has perhaps an imperceptibly worse optical quality (but precisely imperceptibly) and one stop less (but an f / 4 with the yield at high ISO of the R is not a problem), however, it has 35mm more that are very convenient and .......... it costs half. The greater detachment capacity remains due to the extra stop but f / 2.8 is not enough to have a spectacular blur like the ultra-bright so a fixed with these characteristics serves the same in support. It also has merits that I am not here to repeat because the many who have expressed their opinions have already done it very well. A good lens (but not great) that I do not feel like evaluating beyond 8, above all, for the quality / price ratio.

Pros: Optical and material quality - excellent behavior at all focal lengths

Cons: Weight and price

Opinion: If we think that the "global design" of the mirrorless system tended to reduce weight and size, in this case, "the goal" was not achieved. The optics are large and heavy, too heavy to be used for many hours walking along paths and roads. Compared with Canon Eos 5D MKIV + 24/70 2.8 LII we are almost at the same weight. I find it suitable for photos in the studio and in all circumstances where it is possible to "detach" the equipment from the neck. Very beautiful colors and useful additional bezel.
