According to our camera lens expert
The Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM is a standard zoom lens for Canon SLR cameras. With f/2.8, it has a high exposure value which means it can handle a wide variety of light situations. As it's waterproof and dustproof, you can use it both indoors and outdoors, and in good or bad weather. This combination makes this 24-70mm standard zoom suitable for traveling or social media. Compared to the previous 24-70mm f/2.8L, this one has a restyled (smaller) design, more lens elements, 145g less weight, and a larger filter size (82 instead of 77).

I bought this lens to replace my Canon 24-70mm Mark I. The first version of this lens was very good. But the mark 2 is simply fantastic. A lot more expensive compared to the mark I but definitely worth the money! Razor sharp and beautiful colors in combination with my 5D III. There is no IS on it as many had hoped, but actually I don't miss this. The lens weighs 145 grams less compared to its predecessor. It doesn't seem like much, but during long wedding photography I definitely notice the difference. Very satisfied with my purchase and especially with the coolblue service!!

This is the sharpest Canon lens I've owned so far. Separate primes are not sharper, at most more specialized with an even larger aperture. I hope for others that the spread in quality is no longer as great as with its predecessor!

What a fantastic lens! I had had my eye on the lens for a while and when I tried the lens of a colleague photographer, I immediately gave in and ordered the lens from CoolBlue (the lens was already delivered the next day, top service!). The quality and sharpness of the photos taken with this lens is phenomenal. I use the lens for various purposes, such as (city) landscape, portrait and wedding photography in combination with the EOS 7D (1st generation). Absolutely recommended in my opinion!
