This auction is for the legendary **Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM**, a cornerstone of the professional "L" series lineup. Known as the ultimate "workhorse" lens, it has been a favorite among wedding, event, and photojournalism professionals for over a decade. It combines a versatile focal range with a bright, constant aperture and "tank-like" build quality, delivering exceptional performance across the most common photographic scenarios.
### Key Features and Professional Specifications
* **Model:** Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM (Version I).
* **Mount:** **Canon EF Mount** (Compatible with all Canon EOS Full-Frame and APS-C DSLRs, and mirrorless R-series cameras via an EF-EOS R adapter).
* **Focal Range:** **24-70mm**, covering everything from wide-angle landscapes to standard documentary shots and telephoto portraits.
* **Aperture:** Features a fast, constant maximum aperture of **f/2.8** across the entire zoom range, providing superior low-light performance and beautiful background blur (bokeh).
* **Optical Design:** Includes two **Aspherical elements** and one **UD (Ultra-low Dispersion) element** to effectively minimize chromatic aberrations and ensure high contrast and resolution.
* **Autofocus:** Driven by a ring-type **USM (Ultrasonic Motor)** for lightning-fast, silent, and highly accurate autofocusing, featuring full-time manual focus override.
* **Macro Function:** Offers an impressive minimum focusing distance of **0.38m** across the entire zoom range, allowing for high-quality close-up photography.
* **Build Quality:** Professional L-series construction featuring **dust and moisture resistance** (when used with a filter), designed to withstand the rigors of professional daily use.
* **Filter Size:** **77mm**, a standard for professional filters.
