Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM - The Brick

[Tareq]

I think the thread address is so clear
let's post photos of this lens
don't post another links, because i have many links of this lens already.
Just i like to post and share here rather than just see photos from links.
I like to participate here not just keep seeing pics, so let's all share photos from this lens here. Be Honest;););):p

[Tareq]

i post that before somewhere, i'll post it here again as sample

I like this photo even some of you see it normal and simple

[Col_M]

I'm interested in this as mine should be back from repair in a week or two, i can see what it can do here in the meantime :D

Right, i like it and i am so satisfied with it.
but why most people here or somewhere choose 24-105mm? is it because of focal length or something else?

[HectorsGTI]

I chose the 24-70 f/2.8 over the 24-105 soley based on bokeh. I like the bokeh WAY better on the 24-70 as well as the overall light range. I noticed the backgrounds were a touch lighter on the 24-70 and a bit darker on the 24-105. I got to try them both out at the store I shop at which is a great way for you to choose which one you prefer. The extra focal length and image stabilization would have been nice but that's why I've got legs and steady hand.

[Col_M]

A number of things really, many people don't want or need the extra aperture and they feel the IS more than makes up for it (i agree with that depending on how it's used of course) also the extra focal length and similar IQ make the 24-104 the better option.
I can't speak for everyone but that's how i see it, i was going to get one until my 24-70 fell into my lap at a price i couldn't refuse.

Wow
nice shot
is this with 24-70L or you use 24-105 IS?
i agree that 24-70L is enough over that 24-105

Took this on Tuesday. Lots of photographers that day had great lenses, but my 24-70L got this shot and I think Jon got one similar with his 24-70L. He put that lens on one of his cameras and the 70-200 IS on the other. Lots of people there thought we were press. :lol:

WOW, you are lucky.
if i were there then i will steal alot of cameras and lenses freely.;)
I wish to find one photographer somewhere in my area so then keep in touch with him.
Thank you for your nice pic.
Good luck for me

[Tareq]

I wish to get 5 cameras so then i will put 5 different lenses on each. no need to change then. SLR--->Compact....lol

[SuzyView]

I have 3 cameras and it is nice not to have to change lenses. Starting in August I will only have the 20D and EOS 3 and I don't mind. I actually would love a 5D by the end of the year.

All "L" telephoto zooms are white - someone said it's because it reflects heat. I think it's just so we can see each other and get jealous. Go to the Canon website and you can see all the "white" line-up.

Yes just a little. The tunnel was lit by flourescent light, that's what give the green glow. Everything else is natural. sharpened and color saturation was raised.

[tomwilli]

I received my 24-70 2.8L today. These are two of the first pictures taken off the "big brown truck". I'm not real sure why I decided on taking a picture of the side of my brothers car, but I did. I guess this was my version of the "battery test". I'm looking forward in playing with the lens this weekend.

[grego]

Right, i like it and i am so satisfied with it.
but why most people here or somewhere choose 24-105mm? is it because of focal length or something else?

Because some people think the extra reach is more useful for the "walk around" lens, and that the IS will cover the low light situations.

Although if you have the 70-200 2.8, then the 24-70 is the better pairing. :)

Yes, that is correct. White absorbs heat much less than black. And these lens are made for outdoors stuff, and sun exposure is often common in this big lens.

I'll give you a couple of my sharpest.

100% crop:
82504

[gregjp48]

is the 24 wide enough on a 1.6x crop factor?

[Ronald S. Jr.]

It is for me. That's a personal decision. Depends on what you need, how much room, what your subject is, if you'll get distortion, etc. Very subjective.

[sugarzebra]

is the 24 wide enough on a 1.6x crop factor?

Generally speaking, no its not wide enough, and thats why my next lens will be the 10-22. But I agree with Ronald in that its somewhat subjective and your need for a wider lens is also based on the type of photography you do.

http://00photo.com/codename/web_IMG_9443.jpg


i agree. the 24-70 has superior bokeh. the bokeh of the 24-105 can be spikey and harsh if you aren't careful. this one taken with my 24-105 is all right tho. btw, your shot is fantastic!

ed rader

http://www.fototime.com/69EE7B922B3018B/orig.jpg

[Tareq]

Thats why i went for 24-70, i know that 24-105 is an amazing lens, but i think i got good stuff by adding 70-200 to my 24-70, so then 24-105 is not necesary. and speed is a big benefit over the IS on 24-105 to me.

And mention all the things I lose

In the end she will surely know

TLV, sure I could'v used the 50mm 1.4 for that shot. The 50 at F11 would be incredibly sharp too, but the minimum focus distance is larger than the 24-70.

Firstly welcome to the forum Eduardo. Secondly, I think this is an interesting shot, it is well exposed, leading your eye from the covers out of the window and back to the headboard lights. It's thought provoking and so works very well in my opinion. Well done.

[jon.s]

more or less bought this lens with the last step to complete actually handing over the money but before i commit i was wondering if anyone could post photos of sports mainly fast sports on here for me to have a look at please,

im going to be using it on a Canon Eos 1D MK2 and will mainly be shooting Rallying with it.

Cheers,
Jon....

[blackshadow]

Can't help with the fast sports but can with some fast performance action - here are a few taken on Friday night with a 24-70L and 1DM2N - 1600 ISO. It's a great lens!

I would think it's pretty unusual to shoot sports with this focal length, but I might be wrong. If you're worried about the AF speed of the 24-70/2.8, don't be. It's ultra fast.

[blackshadow]

Although I love my 24-70 if I was shooting sports I would be looking at the 70-200 f2.8 it's an awesome lens too.

[jon.s]

Cheers for those pics they are great blackshadow, how did you get away with shooting on iso1600 and no visible grain?

keep the pics coming people :)

as for the lens im using the Canon 28-135mm IS USM at the moment but it's dieing lol

i use the Canon 70-200mm f2.8 L IS USM also but need a replacement for the smaller zoom lens and thought this lens would be ideal.

[swjim]

It's my only lens and I'm still a newbie, so I don't have a large basis for comparison, but I'm really happy with it. Here are a few random examples.

Hi, I'm new to photography, and probably spent too much money on gear. However, this lens seems to be worth it. It's hard for me to make a mistake while using it. Any coaching or tips would be helpful. I took these photos in Maui Hawaii this year.

Nice shots. I feel i want to g there, i am planning to visit Australia in the future.

[mebailey]

Here is a shot I did at Christmas for friends at their new house. I shot kind of far back so you could see the decorations. I could not get the shot with my 85mm so I pulled out the 24-70. Boy was I pleased. I have included a crop so you could really see how good a job the lens did.

Those are great photos, I especially like the color of the landscapes. Tack sharp indeed.

[Tareq]

Really nice shots, nice colors, great jobs.
Yes, this lens is great.

[MotifOne]

You are getting some sweet sharpness there... are you shooting RAW and sharpening some? JPEGS out of camera with any particular sharpess setting?

Nice work!

[David S]

Thanks Rumrunner, Tareq, and MotifOne!

MotifOne - I shoot in RAW and do sharpen very little afterwards.

Thanks, Tareq. Though I must say my family is getting a little sick of modeling for me. Soooooo, in the last month I've actually had two shoots with models. I'm hoping to do more of that in the future.

I love to use this lens as my primary and travel lens. Good range, great IQ, built like a tank, etc. Here are just a few examples from a cruise late last year. Click for large and additional information (EXIF):

Great, i will try to find models around in my area to shoot, only my kids are willing to be shooted all the time, and never of my wife or parents or even my sister.
I think i will take homemaids as models, hehe.

Here are some more. The first was taken in a blowing nor'easter on an Atlantic beach. Hard to really see in the picture, but this shot was only possible with a weathersealed combination:

http://litpixel.com/ee/images/thumb/_1D_0439.jpg (http://litpixel.com/ee/photo.php?photo=387)

Shot through a monorail window at speed, using a CPL, at Epcot. I used nothing but the 24-70mm the whole day between the MK and Epcot... It even takes pictures in very dark rides. Who needs IS? The last picture was handheld at 1/8s.
