Verdict
The Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 USM L proved to be a worthy representative of the pro grade lens league ... if you
can get a good sample. During the last two years four lenses has seen the lab with only one within specs - this
is disappointing especially for a lens of this price class. If you´re lucky enough to get a decent sample
you can expect a very high performance level, especially when stopped down a bit. Distortions, vignetting and
CAs are well controlled. The build quality is superb with only the reverse zoom extension as a minor downside.
Even so the 24-70mm range is not all that attractive on APS-C DSLRs (39-112mm) - the EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 USM IS
is a better and cheaper bet except regarding build quality.
