Capabilities that are owned Canon 24-70 II is autofocus (AF) faster than previous lenses. As well as new features with the addition of two aspherical elements and an optical glass element which make far superior to the L-series lens 28-70mm f/2.8. This lens also has a 1 year warranty.
Many of the reviews that complain about the weight of these Canon 24-70 II, but I feel the weight of this lens is reasonable and I do not feel the problem when the daily take. But I will admit that this lens might be a little heavy for regular use, but it's also A LOT bigger than the 24-70.
If you are new in using a DSLR camera, then you should be more careful in reading product reviews. Because just like in other hobbies, most people tend to always see the latest and greatest that just came out.
This review is from: Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM Standard Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras
I've owned the 24-70mm for almost a year now. This lens has been a favorite of many since it replaced its well-regarded predecessor, the 28-70mm. It shoots images that are very sharp and have excellent contrast and saturation. Its sharp wide open and only gets better when stopping down. The USM (Ultrasonic Motor) focuses very fast, and full-time manual focusing is allowed. I've thought about buying a 50mm f/1.4, but the results from this lens are so good, I'm having a hard time justifying the purchase....

Simply put, this is the best all-around lens that Canon manufactures. It produces razor-sharp images with startling color and saturation, and at f/2.8 across the zoom range is capable of shooting in all but the dimmest of lighting conditions. The "L" glass (Canon's professional line of lenses) is simply the best out there, bar none, from any manufacturer. It's pricey, but well worth it....
