Canon EF 24-70 F/2.8L II USM Professional Zoom Lens (EF Full Frame)
Item Condition:
A working but heavily used professional zoom lens. This II model is favored & relied upon for some very professional workloads. Tested and works (photos are from the listed unit). Focus ring works but is more noisy/noticeably less smooth than normal to rotate. Zoom ring operates smoothly. AF/MF switch works well. Optically looks okay, has some small scratch on the front glass element (to be picky, see photo 3-4; we’d be critical and say 7/10 rating optically). Sold on the VAT Margin Scheme (EU buyers: we’re unable to zero VAT). Has a 3-month RTB warranty with us only. The outside casing has some very noticeable wears/marks (noticeable wears on the non-glass part of the casing; noticeable paint wears on the edges/casing; scratch visible on the focus indicator screen). The original box is included (it will have noticeable marks visible). Note: We prefer to be critical in the description.
Highlights:
- Built around the Canon EF mount, this lens is compatible with both full-frame cameras such as the 5D series, and cropped (APS-C) sensor cameras such as the 1300D.
- Features the next-generation optics feature ultra-low dispersion (UD) and super UD elements for exceptional sharpness. Aspherical lens elements combat chromatic aberration.
- L-Series Quality: The fast f/2.8 maximum aperture is perfect for low-light shooting and control over depth of field.
- The lens is sealed against dust and moisture, and its tough construction protects against knocks and bumps
- Ultrasonic AF: the USM (Ultra-Sonic Motor) allows for fast, near-silent focusing with full-time manual override.
- Lens Construction: With a minimum focus distance of 0.38m, this lens has a nine-bladed circular aperture diaphragm for smooth natural bokeh.
