I do all the purchasing for the Optical Sciences College, Surface Science, Department. I was asked to assemble a complete package of Canon lenses that would compliment the Canon EOS 1Ds Mark II. My research prior to making a decisions comes under extreme scrutiny. Failure is not an option, ever! The Canon EF 24-70mm f2.8L wasn't included in my initial order, but it certainly made the second! My superior was so blown away with the results from the EF 24-70mm that I personally requested to borrow it. I wanted to verify for myself the glowing reviews of this product. It preformed SO WELL, that during my initial impression, I was certain that the Canon EF 24-70mm was broken. This lens was so incredibly quiet, that just assumed that it didn't change focus. I was truly embarrassed, but once I saw the results, I also became a believer. With that said, didn't hesitate to purchase a second Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 for my personal use. In my book, using my personal funds, is the ultimate form of flattery. Ross Potoff University of Arizona Optical Sciences 1040 E.

This is my favorite zoom lens for 135 “full format” stills photography. The wide/normal to portrait focal range is extremely handy. This range, plus this lens’ 2.8 formula stop, takes care of 90% of situations I am hired to capture. This lens basically lives on one of my two cameras.

I bought this lens to use with my Canon T2i. I have been told many times that it's better to invest in getting superior glass (lenses) for an average camera than to invest in a superior camera with only average lenses. The advice was right on. I can take incredible pictures with the "L" lenses that I have including the Canon EF 24-70mm f2.8L USM. I was concerned about the crop factor with my T2i whereby I wouldn't be able to capture a wide angle close up shot (i.e., full torso or body at about 4 feet away). My worries were for naught. The difference is not really noticeable in these situations. This lens is really impressive. I was amazed by the picture quality and the ability to sharply focus on an object only a foot away. Between this lens, the 70-200mm F2.8L IS USM, a 50mm F1.8, and 2x converter, I am set for almost any situation. I would highly recommend adding this lens to your arsenal of lenses. Even a used lens can be a beaut and also saves you a bit of money.Read full review
I needed a new lens because my old lens quit zooming, This is a much better replacement than I had.

For me this is the best available lens for true wide angle shots for any of the Canon Rebel series and the 30 to 50D series. I like it because it exactly fills a slot matching up with my L series lenses of 24- 70 mm and 70 - 200 mm. While it is not IS nor as rugged a construction as the L series, it seems to be quite adequate. Many accomplished amateur photographers recommended this lens to me and I have used it enough to know that it's "a keeper".
