Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM

The Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM is a professional standard zoom lens built for Canon EF-mount SLR cameras. It covers a 24-70mm focal range with a constant f/2.8 maximum aperture. The optical design uses 16 elements in 13 groups. A ring-type ultrasonic motor drives fast, quiet autofocus with full-time manual override.

Suits event, portrait

Photographers who need a wider angle than 24mm or longer reach than 70mm should consider other lenses. The fixed 77mm filter thread may not match existing filter systems built for different diameters. Users of Canon RF-mount mirrorless bodies require an adapter; this lens is natively designed for EF-mount SLR cameras only.

Constant f/2.8 aperture across the 24-70mm zoom

The maximum aperture stays at f/2.8 from wide to telephoto, giving consistent exposure and depth-of-field control throughout the zoom. At 24mm the diagonal angle of view is 74°, narrowing to 29° at 70mm. Closest focusing distance is 0.38m or 1.25 ft. The front-focusing system keeps the lens length constant during focusing.

Questions about this item

How do I attach the EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM to my camera, and what step is often missed?

Align the red dot on the lens barrel with the red dot on the Canon EF mount, then twist clockwise until it clicks; the step people miss is leaving the rear dust cap on, which blocks the electrical contacts and prevents autofocus.

What maintenance will this 16-element, 13-group zoom lens need over time?

Clean the front 77 mm filter thread and rear element with a blower and microfiber cloth; the ultrasonic motor and front-focusing mechanism are sealed and require no routine lubrication.

What limit appears first when shooting continuously at f/2.8 with this lens?

The closest focusing distance of 0.38 m / 1.25 ft restricts how near you can frame a subject at any focal length from 24 mm to 70 mm.
