In November, Canon expanded their f/4 series of L zoom lenses with the RF 70-200mm f/4L IS, an extremely compact high-end lens that is barely larger than the RF 24-105mm f/4L IS. At $1,600, it’s not a cheap lens, but it is still a full $1,100 less expensive than its also compact, faster brother, the RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS. The Canon 24-70 f/2.8 L mk2. The Canon 24-70 f/2.8 L mk1. Viewing them at web resolution, the differences are very subtle at most. The 24-70 mk2 is slightly warmer than the mk1, and has slightly more clarity overall. This seems like “Oh just two clicks in lightroom and it’s the same”, …However in my experience as a full-time post
From portraits and landscapes, to travel and everyday moments, the RF 24-70mm F2.8 L IS USM is engineered to cover a range of subjects extending from 0.69 ft./0.21m (wide) to 1.25 ft./0.38m (telephoto). Enjoy enhanced video performance, especially when tracking moving subjects, thanks to Canon’s Nano USM technology for accurate and silent AF
The latest member of the family is the EF 24–70mm f/4L IS USM, which became available in January 2013. The f/4 version, which is the first of the family to include image stabilization , was initially reported to be the standard kit lens for the Canon EOS 6D , [6] but did not appear in 6D kits in most markets until late 2014, and 5D Mark IV
As this is an L series lens, Canon says it also boasts the highest possible build quality, which includes weather-sealing and fluorine coatings on both the front and rear elements to guard against water droplets and dust. At the time of writing, the Canon RF 24-70mm f/2.8 L IS USM lens is priced at £2,329 / $2,299 in the UK and US respectively.
