Canon EF 2,8/24-70mm L USM | Zoomlens

The EF24-70mm f/2.8L USM zoom lens was developed as the successor to the EF28-70mm f/2.8L USM lens released in November 1993. Thanks to a new optical design, this new zoom lens offers a larger zoom range with a wide-angle focal length of 24 mm – ideal for digital image formats – while the excellent image quality of the previous model is preserved or even improved.

In addition, the focusing group has been strengthened, allowing a minimum focusing distance of only 0.38 meters across the entire zoom range; at the time, the shortest in its class. The new EF24-70mm f/2.8L USM also features a circular diaphragm for nicer background blur and, with regard to the environment, uses only lead-free optical glass. Built like a tank and at 950 g certainly not lightweight. A pleasure to work with.
