    Most Versatile Lens Ever!

    This lens has been on my wishlist for a while now and I was able to save up and buy this beast finally. This is my go to and most versatile lens for everything. I use this with Canon R8 for photography and video during the day. However for night photography and video I use RF 35mm 1.8 that works really well at night. These two lenses are always in my backpack. The only cons of this lens is that it’s pretty heavy as compared to other lenses I have. But you get what you pay for the quality is incredible.

    It's a work horse!

    This lens does just about everything. It's capable of both wide angle for beautiful landscapes as well as a decent zoom for portraits, which you can see in my examples. If you're a wedding or event photographer, you're going to love this lens and you'll find it paying for itself many times over. Between the image stabalization and as low as 2.8 on the apature, it's great for low light situations.

    A Must-Have Lens for Any EOS R Photographer

    After several portrait and event sessions, I can confidently say the Canon RF 24-70 mm f/2.8 L IS USM is worth every dollar. Image quality is outstanding across the entire zoom range and the image stabilization makes handheld shooting much easier. Autofocus is fast and silent—perfect for weddings or parties where you don’t want distractions. The build quality feels solid and truly professional, giving you confidence in any environment. If you need a single workhorse zoom for your EOS R camera, this is the gold standard: from landscapes to portraits it delivers first-class results every time.
