    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.

    The Canon 35-70mm f/2.8 is a compact, sharp, and versatile lens, perfect for both low-light conditions and portraits. With its constant f/2.8 aperture, it offers excellent performance at a great price. A solid choice for photographers seeking reliability and quality in a zoom lens.

    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.

    Excellent lens. Tried the RF 50mm 1.2 and the versatility of the zoom and IS on the RF 24-70mm greatly outweighed the benefits of 1.2 for me. Sharp photos, quick and consistent autofocus, and durability build quality.

    I had the 24-105 kit lens that came with my R6 ii and I knew I could get much better results with the R6 using a L series lens. The results continue to exceed my expectations. It is heavy, but the quality is worth it. Photography is just a hobby, but I saw this lens as an investment and this lens will outlast the R6,

    Excellent lens, replaced my EF 24-70 with this after upgrading to the R6. I had the adapter with the newest EF 24-70 but this one is way sharper and the is complete with ibs of the R6 makes it a no brainer. I've put it to the test in 11 countries and from the freezing temps in the desert at night in Vegas to the tropical rain forest in Dominica. Hasn't let me down yet!

    Except lens! Great for a range of photos from landscape to portrait. I’m particularly fond of the full 70mm for close ups. I find it is a bit bulky for travel, but fits well in a camera bag.

    Love this lens. This is the best "walking around" lens. If you want to travel light and only carry one lens then this is the lens to bring. Beautiful images and great quality.
