Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM Lens

The Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM is a standard zoom for full-frame EF-mount cameras, holding a constant f/2.8 aperture from wide 24mm through short-telephoto 70mm. That range and speed cover reportage, events, portraits, and general assignment work with one lens, and the fast aperture holds up in low light and separates subjects from the background.

The optical formula uses 18 elements in 13 groups, including aspherical and UD glass, to control distortion and chromatic aberration across the zoom. Ring-type USM drives fast, quiet inner focusing down to 1.25 feet, and the weather-sealed L-series barrel takes 82mm filters. It ships with the EW-88C hood, caps, and LP1219 case. Canon part number 5175B002.
