Customer Ratings & Reviews

Amazing image quality, rugged and durable build, and very easy to use. The lens has a very solid feel, right down to the focus and zoom rings. They turn with just the right amount of effort. 24-70 is a very versatile focal length and the 2.8 aperture is fast enough to perform well in low light environments. Only a few things hold this lens back from perfection: the annoying mount-side lens cap, the aperture size, and the price. The RF lens mount-side lens cap standard is frustrating. There is only ONE way for it to slot onto the lens correctly and it is very hard to find while you’re balancing another lens or your camera in your other hand. The other two issues are considerations that always come up. Of course if I could have this lens in F1.8 it would be better. Additionally, if it was cheaper I would be happier too, who wouldn’t? To summarize this lens is great, if you can afford it you won’t regret it. This lens is an apex performer that is a must for professional photographers using RF cameras.

It's expensive, but if you've ever own the EF 24-70 F/2.8 you'll immediately feel the premium materials on the RF version. Not only that but you won't need an adapter to use the lens on the R or R5/R6 bodies or even the C70 cinema camera. It's sharper than the EF version and the added functionality of the front dial make it a great lens. Having IS on a Canon 24-70 F/2.8 is pretty amazing with over 5 stops of shake reduction (or more if you enable the camera body IS).

The lens is really amazing. The range from 24 to 70 may be underwhelming compared to the 24 to 105 but the f2.8 on this lens versus the f4 really sets this lens apart. It can be used for pretty much any type of photography and the f2.8 plus ibis in higher end rf cameras make the combination able to be handheld with ease. Frankly, I don't see the 28 to 70 f2 being worth it in comparison especially in regard to price. The only real down side is the limit at 70... But that's what the 70 to 200 exists for! Hope your wallet can handle it!

This is a beautiful piece to have in your kit. The versatility and qulity of this lens is the reason its on my camera most of the time. Great for portraits , product shoots and landscapes. If you had to have one lens to invest in to start your collection, this would be it. However, do research on the focal length that you feel you’d need the most in your genre of photography.

I’m in love with my lens. I read reviews after reviews to make sure I was getting what I needed and so far it has not disappointed.

I’ve been using the 24–70mm lens for my photography business, and this thing is a BEAST. The image quality is incredibly sharp at every focal length, and the colors come out clean and vibrant. Autofocus is fast, accurate, and reliable—even in low light. What I love most is the versatility: I can shoot portraits, events, weddings, landscapes, and behind-the-scenes shots without switching lenses. It handles everything. The build quality feels solid and professional, and the stabilization helps keep shots steady when I’m moving around. If you want one lens that can truly do it all

Excellent camera lenses!! Clear and vivid shots with little to no blur! I would definitely buy again or recommend to anyone looking to purchase a lense for their camera.

My first RF lens and I love it. It covers all my needs. It worth every penny.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My Everyday Workhorse! The RF 24-70mm f/2.8L is the gold standard for everyday shooting. From crisp wide shots to creamy portraits, this lens never leaves my camera. Tack-sharp, fast autofocus, and incredible image stabilization — it handles low light like a champ. Built like a tank, but smooth as butter. If you can only buy one lens for your EOS R, this is the one!

The Canon 24-70 mm lens is so versitile and great for taking photography. This is the only lens I bring with me during any photo shoots. It offers great zoom options, image quality, and performance. There is nothing I could complain about this lens. This is such a game changer if you’re just starting photography.

I recently made the switch to R mount, and replaced my EF 24-70 2.8L II with this RF equivalent. It is optically fantastic, and that's saying something considering the EF 24-70 2.8L II was already excellent. IS works very well. I do wish it were a bit less expensive; I feel like closer to 2K would be a more reasonable price.

The quality and ease of use is great. Love how pictures come out, very little to edit after I take the picture.

Fantastic lens. Exactly what I wanted. Price was competitive with other sources. Shipping and security of purchase are what brings me back to Best Buy.

I’ve notice better color and focus, compared to my Sigma. It is very sharp, but I have not Pixel-Peeped it yet…lol. It is lighter and less bulky than the Sigma too! I would recommend the Sigma still…sharp and flattercolor when in neutral profile and great editing in RAW.

Been wanting this for a while, a very versatile lens.

extremely satisfied with performance worth every penny and would purchase again. working out well with sports action shots

Canon RF glass is amazing. This is my go to lens and that’s saying a lot from someone who used to shoot almost exclusively with prime lenses. I generally shot at 2.0 or 2.8 and zoom lenses usually don’t do great at their widest apertures but this has ZERO issues! Knocking off a point because it’s more expensive than their EF L glass by quite a bit

What an amazing lens! A definite upgrade! I have the EOS R6 and a pro videographer photographer recommended this lens. I love it!

Excellent professional lens for cannon cameras, I bought it to work on a launch event of a fashionable garment in low light conditions and the result was incredible, I delivered photos in less than 24 hours, the work barely had to be edited since the result was great, 200% guaranteed

A great lens. Versatile. Would be fantastic as a wide angle lense, but over a good lens for daily use. A little on the pricey side though
