Canon EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM Review

The Canon EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM is a very capable but also very pricey standard zoom lens that will appeal most to wedding and reportage photographers looking for a lightweight and responsive lens. It also usefully doubles up as a competent macro...

Canon EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM Review

Canon made a smart decision to offer a lower-priced alternative to its 24-70mm ƒ/2.8, in order to give Canon shooters of the more casual or economical nature a way to stay true to the brand name. Unfortunately the lens' performance at 50mm stands out...

Canon EF 24-70 mm f/4L IS USM

Say what you might, the launch of the Canon EF 24–70 mm f/4L IS USM was a huge surprise. The EF 24-105 f/4L IS USM model has been available on the market for some years at that time and it enjoyed a very favourable opinion so presenting an instrument...

solid casing of good quality ; excellent image quality in the frame centre ; good image quality on the edge of the APS-C sensor ; imperceptible longitudinal chromatic aberration ; negligible lateral chromatic aberration ; not very bothersome distortion...

weak performance against bright light ; bothersome moustache distortion at the wide angle ; some problems related to spherical aberration ; noticeable vignetting on full frame

If your demands don't require a fixed f/2.8 zoom lens, the Canon EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM will reward you with sharp images and a useful zoom range.

Canon EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM Lens

Built-in stabilisation and a macro mode are featured in this lighter, less expensive alternative to the EF 24-70mm ƒ/2.8L USM lens.

The compact size and relatively light weight of Canon's EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM lens make it an attractive option for wedding photographers and those who cover social events. It could also be handy for landscape photography when used with Canon's 'full...

It's all I need

This was the 1st lens I bought for my camera, the 70D, which came with a 70-300 and a 18-135. right away I knew I found the perfect match. The softness is so rich in the backgrounds, it takes backgrounds and turns them into the most beautiful backdrop...
