Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM Standard Zoom Lens - Professional DSLR Camera Lens for Portrait, Wedding & Travel Photography (International Version)

Amazing in every aspectExcellent lens!Lens was good and had no real issues getting to grips witb it but disaster struck! Had taken lens on holiday and as stated no issues but then worst nightmare happened when on a beach! The lens was fine and then just seemed to fall off from the main body...always check that its im secure and had been using it and even holding the lens part too. No idea what went wrong but have to assume design flaw with this particular lens as all years i have had other lens this has never happened so this is why a lower review. For the price these lens go for I could not believe this happened.Bought this for use with my EOS 600DExcellent quality.One thing to note - if you're used to using the 'standard' lens that came with the camera (EF-S 18-55 for instance), this is a lot heaver.However I think the images it can produce are well worth it.Clearly one of the best lenses available out there, and I'm surely not going to be the one who gives a negative review to such a great piece of equipment. If this focal length is the right one for you, then look no further and don't be afraid of buying it because it never fails to impress. Well done, Canon!What a great lens! I use this with my 5D Mark III and it is a fantastic all-rounder. For working photographers on a budget who can't quite stretch to the f2.8 model, this lens could well become your best friend. It may be a little boring for hobbyists, but if you need a high quality, reliable lens then you really can't go wrong with this one.It is extremely sharp and great colours. Though I had a soft corner for mark I since I was under the impression it had a better construction. However, after I bought this I realised it is a false impression. it is well built. The output is amazing. I would recommend this anytime, if you have that money to spend.
