Good news for photography aficionados in India. The long-awaited Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM lens has finally hit Indian stores.
According to Canon, the new version of the 24-70mm f/2.8L lens is significantly sharper than its predecessor. Along with optical improvements, the lens also has been redesigned to make it lighter by about 150 grams. The length has also been reduced from 124mm from version I to 113mm on the version II.
Interestingly, while the overall sense of the design suggests that miniaturization has been an important feature of this lens, the front element now incorporates an 82mm thread, as against the 77mm on the older lens.
The lens is now available through the Canon stores in India for a whopping price of INR 149995, which is significantly higher than what the older lens was priced at. However, early samples seem to suggest that the 2-70 f/2.8L USM version II is much sharper than the previous model of the same focal length along with much better control, adn reduced flare and ghosting.
