First Impressions: Canon EF 24-70mm f/4L IS


This is a brief excerpt from thePhoBlographer




Not too long ago, Canon released what many considered to be a redundant lens in their lineup, the EF 24-70mm f4L IS. Given that they already have the 24-70mm f2.8L II and even the 24-105mm f4L IS, where was this lens supposed to fit? My initial reaction was the same as many when I first heard of it, but I wanted to give it a chance anyways to see if it was a worthwhile lens. Adorama Camera was kind enough to loan one to me, and the following is a summary of my first impressions of my time so far with the 24-70mm f4L IS.
