The EF 28-70mm f/2.8L USM has proven very popular with professional and advanced amateur photographers since it was introduced in 1995. However, the increasing use of digital cameras, most having sensors smaller than a 35mm film frame, has increased the demand for a high-performance standard zoom lens with a wider wide-angle setting. The EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM lens meets this need. The optical design is based on the previous lens, but incorporates new design features that allow the broader focal length range while maintaining the superb image quality. At the same time, the minimum focusing distance has been reduced from 0.5 metres to 0.38 metres.
Improved water and dust resistance ensure that it will become the leading standard zoom lens in the EOS system.

Rate This Lens 1 = bad - 10 = excellent [9]
Optional Comments:
This lens stays on my 5D quite often. I think its focal range is excellent for wide full frame and maybe only second in daytime shooting to the 24-105L. I use this lens for most yard shooting and up close and personal on known over the road locations.

This is my general lens, now that I have a full frame 5D body, it is plenty wide too at 24mm. I don't mind the size or weight so much either, just enjoy crisp quality pics afterwards

I'm loving my 24-70L. It's a great piece of engineering and a joy to own. Optics and build are very fine. The price is steep though (that's why it "only" got a 9).
