Canon EF 24-70/2.8L II USM-3 years CH warranty

Freehand low-light shooting

With its high constant speed of f/2.8 throughout the zoom range, the EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM is ideal for low-light use, making excellent use of available light. The constant speed also allows for very good control of depth of field. The new 9-blade iris diaphragm forms a virtually circular aperture that is ideal for the use of attractive background blur, so-called bokeh. This effectively makes the subject stand out from the background.

Latest generation optical construction

The lens construction of the EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM conforms to the latest standards and incorporates three aspherical lenses. This enables the best imaging quality of any lens at this focal length. The resulting significant reduction in chromatic aberration and chromatic aberration allows for excellent image quality from center to edge, resulting in less post-processing time.

Precise autofocus with the option of manual control

The ring-shaped USM autofocus motor provides extremely fast, precise and virtually silent focusing. For perfect control, the AF can be manually adjusted at any time. What this means for you is maximum and individual control over the sharpness and creative expression of your image.

L Series Quality

Only the best technologies and manufacturing processes are used for L Series lenses. As part of the prestigious "Luxury" series, these lenses represent the best Canon has to offer.

The EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM is built with the highest quality materials, making it rugged enough for everyday professional use Weather sealing provides protection against moisture and dust intrusion, and the Flour coating on the front and rear lenses makes cleaning the lens easy.

Should I upgrade from the EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM?

The EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM replaces the EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM with an all-new optical design.

Sharp images, from center to edge
Chromatic aberrations have been reduced throughout the focal length range. In telephoto, improvements have been implemented in terms of reducing general distortion, and in close-up, pincushion distortion has been significantly reduced.

Stronger, more durable and easier to use
With its improved design structure and increased lens barrel shock resistance, the EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM is much more robust. The new zoom transport lock secures the lens at its shortest focal length to prevent damage during transport.

Improved environmental protection
To ensure that the lens can withstand the toughest environmental conditions, every effort has been made to prevent dust and moisture from damaging the lens.

Extra comfortable handling
Thanks to the rigid front barrel, there is no need to adjust a polarizing filter or filter holder after zooming or focusing.

Better bokeh
The expansion to 9 blades at the iris diaphragm gives a rounder aperture, allowing for softer bokeh.
