Pros and cons
According to our camera lens expert
- The zoom range makes the lens suitable for reporting, travel, landscape, and architecture photography.
- Thanks to the large maximum aperture of f/2, you can use the lens in dark locations.
- You focus quickly and silently with the USM focusing motor, which ensures professional video images.
- The lens doesn't have image stabilization to reduce motion blur.
- The lens weighs 950 grams, so it's best to use a tripod when you use it for longer periods of time.

Beautiful all-round lens with a particularly beautiful Bokeh !! Without a doubt the best of Canon's L-series in this range.
