This redesigned EF 24‎-70mm f/2.8L II USM Lens from Canon ups the ante for optical performance for a professional standard zoom lens‎.‎ It has one Super UD lens element and two UD lens elements that minimize chromatic aberrations in the periphery at wide‎-angle‎,‎ as well as reducing color blurring around the edges of the subject‎.‎ In addition‎,‎ two types of aspherical lenses are combined to help reduce spherical aberration over the entire image area‎,‎ as well as through the full zoom range‎.‎ Optimized lens coatings help ensure exceptional color balance while minimizing ghosting‎.‎

A ring‎-type USM and high‎-speed CPU with optimized AF algorithms ensure silent‎,‎ fast autofocusing‎.‎ The lens is constructed with improved dust sealing and water resistance‎,‎ while fluorine coatings on the front and rear lens reduce fingerprints and smearing‎.‎ A circular 9‎-blade diaphragm gives beautiful‎,‎ soft backgrounds‎.‎ A zoom lock lever locks the zoom position at the wide end for safe transporting while attached to an EOS DSLR camera over the shoulder‎.‎

Large aperture L‎-Series standard zoom lens that combines high image quality and enhanced durability‎.‎ Constant f/2.8 maximum aperture for effective imaging in low light and shallow depth of field‎.‎

New optical design utilizes one Super UD lens element and two UD lens elements to minimize chromatic aberration in the outer area at wide‎-angle‎;‎ as well as eliminates color blurring around the edges of the subject‎,‎ for images with high resolution and contrast‎.‎

Combines two types of aspherical elements to reduce spherical aberration‎,‎ and achieve high image quality across the entire screen area and throughout the full zoom range‎.‎

Highly resistant to dust and water‎,‎ enabling shooting even in harsh and rigorous conditions‎.‎

Nine‎-blade circular diaphragm delivers beautiful‎,‎ soft backgrounds‎.‎

Ring USM‎,‎ high‎-speed CPU‎,‎ and optimized AF algorithms for fast autofocusing‎.‎

Manual focus override in One Shot AF mode allows precise manual focus even in AF mode‎.‎

Optimized lens coatings ensure exceptional color balance while minimizing ghosting‎.‎

Fluorine coating on front and rear lens surfaces reduces smears and fingerprints‎.‎

Zoom lock lever locks the zoom position at the wide end for safe transporting‎.‎
