EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM (Delivery will take 2 months)

HK$13,980.00 HK$16,280.00

A successor model of the professional, large-aperture L-series standard zoom lens that brings natural perspective with its 24-70mm range and is popular among professional photographers. Adopting an 18 elements in 13 groups optical design with 1 precision-ground lens element and 2 high-precision Glass-Molded (GMo) aspherical lenses to vastly correct various types of lens aberration, exceptional images with fine details and high resolution are realized. Additionally, 1 Super UD (Ultra-low Dispersion) and 2 UD lens elements are used to eliminate lateral aberration and color blurring. Designed to meet the demands of professionals to withstand harsh environments, this lens features a durable and robust construction and applies fluorine coating to the fore and rear lens surfaces to make cleaning easier.

New Level of Image Quality

This lens has been incorporated with the best optics in response to the higher demand for superior image quality that comes with the advance of digital imaging technology. The EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM lens provides coverage from wide-angle to standard and medium telephoto and is suitable for a wide variety of subjects. This lens features a re-designed optical system of 18 lens elements in 13 groups, with the inclusion of 1 Ultra-High-Precision Ground-Glass and 2 High-Precision Glass-Molded (GMo) Aspherical Lens Elements to effectively reduce various types of aberration like image distortion and curvature of field for higher image quality across the entire frame. In addition, 1 Super Ultra-Low Dispersion (UD) and 2 UD Lens Elements are featured to minimize magnification-type chromatic aberration and color blurring common in wide-angle shooting and correct axial chromatic aberration at the tele-end, resulting in consistently high resolution and high contrast images. The lens also feature 9-blade circular aperture for beautiful out-of-focus images, and lens coatings optimized for digital cameras to ensure excellent color balance and minimize ghosting and flare.



Enhanced Operability for Responsive Shooting

The EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM lens also enables photographers to capture subjects with intricate details at close range, with a minimum focusing distance of 0.38m across the entire zoom range. A ring-type USM (Ultrasonic Motor) works in combination with an inner focusing system and optimized auto-focusing (AF) algorithm can ensure fast, silent and accurate autofocus to facilitate more responsive shooting. To offer better control on focusing, a full-time manual focusing allows photographers to precisely adjust the focus manually at any time, even when AF is engaged. In addition, with the advantage of f/2.8 large aperture, the lens maintains fast auto-focusing and enables faster shutter speed even when shooting in dim environment. This brings greater shooting flexibility in news and documentary, landscape photography or commercial photography.

Strengthened Durability for Adverse Environment

Understanding the demand of professional photographers to conquer the tough shooting environment, the EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM lens offers a higher degree of durability and compactness through various user-focused design enhancements and an optimized zoom mechanism. The mechanical structure of the lens is re-designed after precise and repeated computer simulation to offer enhanced zoom durability and greater shake and shock resistance within the lens barrel. The lens weights approximately 805g, a 15% reduction compared to previous generation, and is shorter in size, providing enhanced mobility and greater convenience for everyday use. Additionally, a fluorine coating is applied to the foremost and rearmost lens surfaces to minimize the amount of dust, dirt and fingerprints adhering to the lens, making cleaning easier for superior image quality. The lens also features dust and water resistance design*to enable shooting even under adverse weather conditions. A Zoom Ring Lock Lever is added for locking the zoom position at the wide end to prevent damage to the lens during travel.
