My heavy fat favorite

I love it.
Reports there and even local vending. Weaknesses there, clearly. Between all the 24-70mm zoom has for me but the best overall package. Entitlement to sharp photos is justified with any photographer, whether professional or ambitious amateur, but I was trying to say goodbye to petty and to look at what gives me the lens in practice. The macro function is awesome, I know that even from an analog Nikon Standard Zoom, and use it gladly and extensively.

It is worth mentioning that the initial price has probably influenced the stern look that has strayed the lens. For 1200 - or more I would not have bought it. Effectively after cashback you pay now about 800, -, is what a still high but realistic.
A wide-angle, a lightweight telephoto, a macro, an image stabilizer and in a compact, small, fine and somehow sweet-fat housing (1.5 shorter than the 24-105mm) in a. Perfect for me. The colors are very well already without editing.
If necessary, I'm going to post-editing again, so far I am very satisfied.

The weight is 600g with about the same level of a high-intensity fixed focal length like the 35mm 1.4 purchased from Sigma (which is 70g heavier than the 24-70 f4)

the headline is somewhat misleading - 600g but remains just not enough. But significantly less than in the other (Tamron 800g / 2.8 II Canon 800g / 2.8 I 900g 24-105 670g)

Whether I the 24-70mm 2.8 II would have taken the same price? Probably yes. But there is only one mill. You should be able to melt in your mouth, that the 24-70 2.8 II by Cashback 800, - costs more. Who needs the aperture and outstanding / something slightly better BQ of 2.8er which is already know and which will then also the higher price be worth it, especially if it is used as a working tool and is irreplaceable. I do not need the 2.8. So far, anyway. And although I have been photographing moving objects. If the motive is right, even ISO 6400 are totally ok on a film camera. Not optimal, but it is completely ok. Come back on the purpose.
For Bokehspielereien I have a 50mm 1.2 - I would never give up.

Taking pictures with zoom is another. You play back more rum. That's the beauty of it.
