What is the maximum aperture throughout the zoom range?

The lens features a constant maximum aperture of f/2.8 throughout the entire focal length range of 24-70mm. This wide aperture allows for excellent low-light performance and creates a beautiful background blur, enhancing subject isolation.

How does the lens minimize chromatic aberration and color blurring?

This lens incorporates one Super UD (Ultra-low Dispersion) lens element and two UD lens elements, which help to minimize chromatic aberration and reduce color blurring at the edges. The use of aspherical lenses further reduces spherical aberrations across the entire image and zoom range, resulting in sharp and clear image quality.

What autofocus features does the lens have?

Equipped with a ring-type Ultrasonic Motor (USM) and a high-speed CPU with optimized autofocus algorithms, the lens provides silent and fast autofocus performance. This ensures precise and quick focusing, ideal for capturing decisive moments.

Is the lens suitable for use in challenging environmental conditions?

Yes, the lens is built for professional use with improved dust sealing and water resistance. Additionally, fluorine coatings on the front and rear lens surfaces help reduce soiling, smears, and fingerprints, enhancing durability and ease of cleaning.

What practical features help with transportation and handling?

The lens includes a zoom lock lever that locks the zoom position at the wide end to prevent zoom creep during transport. This feature ensures safe carrying when the lens is attached to a compatible DSLR camera.

Canon 5175B002 EF 24-70mm f2.8L II USM Standard Zoom Camera Lens

Meeting the ever-increasing demands on image quality that digital photography brings, the redesigned EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM is the latest update to the acclaimed L-Series of EF optics, re-establishing a new standard for superb optics, high-end durable construction and performance in professional zoom lenses. A standard focal length zoom lens, it features a large aperture throughout its focal length. Featuring the latest advances in optical lens design, it utilizes 1 Super UD lens element and 2 UD lens elements that help minimize chromatic aberration in the periphery at wide-angle as well as reduced color blurring around the edges of the subject. In addition, 2 types of aspherical lenses are combined to help reduce spherical aberration over the entire image area as well as through the full zoom range. Optimized lens coatings also help ensure exceptional color balance while minimizing ghosting. The lens is also equipped with a circular 9-blade diaphragm for beautiful, soft backgrounds. A ring-type USM and high-speed CPU with optimized AF algorithms enable silent and fast autofocusing. Built for the rigors of professional use as well as to meet the increased number of shots available with digital photography, it's constructed with improved dust sealing and water resistance while fluorine coatings on the front and rear lens surfaces help reduce soiling, smears and fingerprints. A zoom lock lever locks the zoom position at the wide end for safe transporting while attached to an EOS DSLR camera over the shoulder.
