Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM

Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM: Verdict

Despite its age, Canon's 24-70mm f/2.8L is still able to hold its own, producing images with very good to excellent sharpness, especially in the centre of the frame. The price tag of just under £1000 seems very reasonable to me, especially as its a lens that's built to last. It should prove a worthwhile investment for any Canon user looking for a lens in this range.

The Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM lens is a solid all round performer.
