Lens Description:

Optically, the Canon EF 24-70mm F/2.8L USM is built around 16 elements in 13 groups — a multi-element layout a well-regarded optical formula. Paired with a maximum aperture of f/2.8 and 8 rounded blades, the Modern prime delivers smooth subject isolation on Canon EF-mount systems. Was first introduced in 2002, it weighs 950g and accepts 77mm screw-in filters. I have personally used and tested this lens.
