Overview

Excellent quality zoom lens that lacks the width of the later 24-70 2.8L versions. Solid build that was a standard lens for many pros. As such be very wary of used versions, since many parts are no longer available. Watch for slackness (wobble) in the extending front section and any stiffness in zoom.
