The Canon RF 24-70mm f/2.8 L IS USM Lens is one of Canon’s most important professional zoom lenses, designed for wedding, portrait, event, and commercial photography. It offers a versatile focal range combined with a bright constant f/2.8 aperture, making it a true workhorse lens for professionals.
Poised to be the new workhorse zoom, the Canon RF 24-70mm f/2.8 L IS USM is a versatile wide-angle to portrait-length lens characterized by its bright, advanced, and intuitive design. The constant f/2.8 maximum aperture suits working in difficult lighting conditions and also enables greater control over depth of field. The optical design incorporates a series of aspherical and Ultra-Low Dispersion elements, which greatly reduce a variety of aberrations throughout the zoom range in order to produce sharp and clear imagery. An Air Sphere Coating has also been applied to suppress flare and ghosting when working in strong lighting conditions.
It is widely regarded as a core “must-have” lens in the Canon RF system due to its flexibility and consistent image quality.
