📷🌌 Superior Optics and Remarkable Versatility: The Canon RF 24-70mm lens is a dream come true for photographers seeking versatility and top-tier performance. Its focal length range makes it ideal for a plethora of photography styles, including landscapes, portraits, and street photography. The lens’s maximum F2.8 aperture provides the flexibility to shoot in low-light conditions while also achieving a shallow depth-of-field, giving beautiful bokeh effects.
🎯🚀 Precision Autofocus and Image Stabilization: The lens comes equipped with an Ultrasonic Motor (USM) for autofocus, which operates at lightning speed and with stunning accuracy. The in-built Image Stabilization system deserves applause for its ability to offer up to 5 stops of shake correction, an essential feature for handheld shooting.
💪🏽⛈️ Robust Build and Durability: This lens feels like a professional tool, thanks to its robust build quality. The weather-sealed construction assures reliability even in adverse conditions. It’s sturdy yet surprisingly lightweight, considering the broad range and speed it offers.
👀🌈 Exceptional Image Quality: The Canon RF 24-70mm lens delivers an impressive image quality, with fantastic sharpness, superb color reproduction, and contrast. Chromatic aberration, distortion, and flare are all well-controlled, contributing to an excellent overall image quality.
🔄🔝 Innovative Control Ring: The addition of the customizable control ring represents innovative design thinking. This feature can be programmed for multiple functions, including aperture, shutter speed, ISO, or exposure compensation, allowing photographers to make quick adjustments without having to navigate the camera menu.
Now, let's address the areas where this lens could do better:
🖼️📏 Size and Bulk: Despite its many strengths, the Canon RF 24-70mm F2.8 L IS USM Lens is not without its shortcomings. Its most notable is its size. The lens, although offering superb image quality and performance, is quite large compared to its DSLR counterparts. This increased bulk can be cumbersome for those used to a more compact setup or those who are always on the go.
💼🏞️ No Lens Case Included: Another minor drawback is the absence of a dedicated lens case in the package. Given the significant investment this lens represents, the inclusion of a protective case would have been a welcome addition for safe storage and transport.
🔍🌑 Slight Vignetting: Additionally, some photographers might notice slight vignetting at wider apertures. While this is a common occurrence with many lenses, especially zooms, it's worth mentioning for those who prefer their images to be as clean as possible.
In summary, the Canon RF 24-70mm F2.8 L IS USM lens deserves its 5-star rating 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟. It offers versatility, superior image quality, and a robust build that is designed to last. The minor downsides do not significantly detract from the overall experience of using this lens. If you're looking for a lens that will serve you well across a range of photographic situations, the Canon RF 24-70mm should be on top of your list. It is an investment worth making for the incredible images it produces, despite the slight increase in size and the few areas it could improve. Here's to capturing life's moments with unmatched clarity and color! 📷🎉
My only other complaint is how image stabilization works for video. The electronic stabilization in the body can cause the frame to move trying to track a person in frame even when the camera is still, causing a very odd, unnatural look to the footage (I am talking about with the normal stabilization, not the enhanced). For some reason, with digital stabilization off and just using lens IS, it still does the same thing. I usually only have this issue when shooting a close up of a person that is mostly filling the frame, but it is something to keep in mind. This should be an amazing feature for photographers because it will stabilize not just your camera but help even with a moving subject. For video I find I sadly need to turn off IS sometimes because I can get a better looking shot handheld without getting the weird camera movements that the IS can cause. I am a hybrid shooter so I love it for photos.
The focus is smooth and silent for video which is great. The F2.8 aperture gives a good amount of light and at the 70mm end of your zoom you can get some nice bokeh too.
Overall I definitely highly recommend the lens and the stabilization issue is probably a software related issue in how they've implemented it to get the 5 stops and is something they could address with a setting added in firmware in the future. As long as you are aware of it, is something you can probably work around.
This lens is perfect for me for my landscape and portrait photography and I do not need to carry multiple lenses with me to photo shoots. I do have the Canon RF Macro 85mm f2.0 that I use for nature and portraits, but auto focus is slower than the auto focus feature on the 24-70.
While this lens is not as fast as my RF Macro 85mm 2.0, at its widest aperture, 2.8, I noticed a fairly decent bokeh. Of course, I could have purchased the more expensive Canon RF 28-70 f2.0, but the cost of that lens was out of my budget.
I like the Lock feature on this lens which prevents lens from opening when carrying camera. Also, I am glad that a lens hood is included with the lens; however, the large lens diameter (82 mm) makes it a bit expensive to purchase certain filters for shooting in black and white. BTW, a nice lens pouch is included with lens.
I love that I can zoom from 24-70 and every focal length in between. Certainly, at 24mm focal length, I am able to capture group shots of individuals without stepping too far back as when I use my 50mm lens.
Also, if need be, I can still shoot at the 50mm focal length for portraits or head shots.
The downsize to this lens is that it is a bit weighty, much more than either my RF 50mm 1.8 or the aforementioned RF 85mm 2.0, but the RF 28-70mm f2.0 is heavier than the RF 24-70 lens, which does make a difference when out all day on photoshoots.
All things considered, I really love this lens and, despite its weight, will be using this lens exclusively.
