Whether it be group portraits, family formals, decor details, wedding processionals, or shutter drag portraits at night – the 24-70mm has time and time again proved its worth as a valuable and useful piece of Canon 24-70mm/2.8 L II vs Zeiss 24-70/4 vs Sony 16-50 OSS 18 September 2015 . Canon and Nikon been doing this much longer, and their top 24-70mm lenses today are sharper — but bigger.

I was heading out on a multi-day hike and weight was critical. With the options at the time, the f/4 version was about half the weight of the f/2.8 model.

Whether the f/4 lens is sharp enough at a significantly lower price is an individual decision. In terms of Minimum Focus Distance and Maximum Magnification the EF 24-70mm f/4 is more useful. The 24-70 is obviously a fantastic lens, but maybe overkill unless you need 2.8 - if not, a lighter lens with more zoom is maybe the best way to go - the 70-120mm range really changes the kind of compositions you can get (and allows some semi-macro shots too). 2. pk_ • 1 yr. ago. i7mOv.
