Ef 24 70Mm F/2.8L II USm Lens

It was good as expected

Après un an à tergiverser et reporter cet achat (j'utilisais mon autre boitier avec un grand angle natif pour les besoins), je me suis enfin décidé à l'acheter (c'est le seul objo qui me manquait pour compléter ma gamme avec mon 70-200mm et mon 85mm fixe pour utiliser mon 5D sur tous mes contrats). Reçu deux jours après avoir passé ma commande et premiers tests très concluants et positifs. Seul regret s'il en est: ne pas l'avoir acheté bien plus tôt. Très satisfait!

The Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM is a superb, versatile, all-round lens. The overall build quality is fantastic, as you would expect from an L-series lens, and is a welcomed upgrade to the Mk. I version of this lens. Stretching from 24mm (Medium-wide) to 70mm (short telephoto), the 24-70 f/2.8 lenses are perhaps best known for their workhorse nature. Having one of these in your bag often means you can leave the heavy collection of prime lenses at home on a normal day's shoot; in fact, that's what I've found myself doing more and more with this lens. I can drop this, my 5D Mk III, and a flash into my bag, and be ready for a lot of situations that present themselves, without needing to worry that my images won't be sharp or slightly distorted at the edges. The fastest aperture of this lens, at f/2.8 isn't the best in the lowest of light situations, however, in normal working circumstances this is more than enough for most day-to-day shooting scenarios. At an average of 2 stops slower than most of the primes that the zoom range cuts across, you would expect backgrounds to be slightly sharper than the prime equivalents, however this lens does an excellent job of blurring the background out for portraits and close-up work, whilst still being pin-sharp when you stop it down to f/8 or above for landscape work. At nearly 1kg, this lens is by far not the lightest zoom Canon makes, however the weight is truly reflected in the stunning images you can capture thanks to the glass inside. This may be slightly buffeted by the fact that Canon chose not to build IS of any kind into the lens, opting for a purely optical design, much like its predecessor.. Unlike it's predecessor, this Mk. II version of the lens features a plastic/thin metal construction. Some people may be put off by this, however, I for one am not careful with my lenses and don't treat them like babies, and after 5 months of hard use, there is no physical or visual wear and tear to my lens. The lens hood supplied with my own lens was of the newer-style button release lens hoods. Unlike the Mk.I version, the hood now directly attaches to a bayonet around the outermost lip of the 82mm filter ring. The barrel no longer travels inside the lens hood. This means that Canon used their normal zoom layout of shortest to longest clockwise, however that added protection from knocks and bumps to the barrel is no longer there. Overall, I think that the Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM is an excellent and versatile lens, well worthy of its L-series designation and pricing. Pros: Nearly prime-quality sharpness Fast maximum aperture for a zoom Professional build quality Weather sealing Versatile Cons: Slow maximum aperture for ultra-low light work No IS

Luminoso e versatile. Ottica ottima in occasioni che prevedano foto che necessitano l’utilizzo di un buon grandangolo ed anche qualche ritratto. Nitidezza apprezzabilissima dove a fuoco. Piacevole sfumatura dove non lo è. Obiettivo che tengo sempre come prima scelta in evento di qualsiasi tipo mi si chieda di immortalare. Contentissimo di averlo scelto!

Offre exceptionnelle d'Amazon qui m'a permis d'obtenir ce caillou à 1300€ au lieu des 2000€, j'en reviens toujours pas ! :) Je l'utilise actuellement sur un EOS 550D et clairement le boitier diminue le rendu des photos qui sont pour autant exceptionnelles à tout point de vue. La qualité optique est au RDV, normal pour un objo à 2000€ vous me direz. Pour l'IS qui n'est pas présent, je n'ai pour le moment eu aucun reproche à faire. Le piqué est très bon à pleine ouverture et exceptionnel à partir de f/5,6. Le moteur USM est très silencieux, l'AF ne patine que dans des cas très exceptionnels. Le lock est très pratique pour les longues balades car tête baissée il a vite tendance à se déployer. Au passage, si vous avez un doubleur vous conservez l'AF ! En bref cet objectif régalera vos paysages, portraits...il est en permanence sur mon boitier !
