Three stars or four stars ...?

Canon EF 24-70mm f / 2.8L II USM Standard Zoom Lens (82mm filter thread) (Electronics)

Customer Review

I find it really difficult to evaluate because here this lens, I still vacillate between three and four stars. The lens makes really a lot of fun and is pretty much the "strongest terms" (Attention pun) thing you can just get on the market. The autofocus is very fast (at least subjectively, not habs measured).

But there are two lenses against which the need to take 24-70 II:
- The predecessor
- The new Tamron 24-70 with image stabilizer

The Tamron focused here (again subjectively) significantly slower and is also in the peripheral areas not as sharp (in the middle there is nothing to complain about), but it has an image stabilizer in the same size - and it costs less than half. The same applies to the predecessor of the high level and very well located just under half cost.

What still bothers me is that the new version has a filter diameter of 82mm. The 24-70 has always been the supplement to 70-200er and has just 77mm filter diameter. I find a great pity that you are now not stay here in the diameter of its predecessor.

Conclusion:
I would pull out because of the things said 1.5 stars, so 3.5 star. I erdreiste - in spite of the outstanding quality - easy times to forgive only three stars here. In the new version a lens the price to almost double I find no justification and then if still an image stabilizer lacks (like Tamron has shown) is technically possible, you can include the IMO in the assessment, because the price / performance ratio here just do not agrees. The lens is nevertheless consistently recommended and fun, but the Tamron plays at half price just on a very high level with.

Summary:
+ Faster autofocus
+ Little distortion
+ Crack-sharp throughout the zoom range
- Filter diameter of 82mm
- No image stabilizer
- Plastic
- Extremely high price
