Announced in August as part of a trio of L-series f/2.8 lenses for serious photographers, the RF 24-70mm f/2.8L IS USM is the first to be made available for us to review. Covering a ‘standard’ zoom range, this all-purpose lens provides many of the features of the second-generation EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM for users of Canon’s EOS R Canon RF 24-70mm f/2.8L IS USM Handling and Features The lens is heavy and chunky, weighing in at a solid 900g. Nonetheless, it does balance well with the hefty R3 body, the two making an Canon EF 24-70mm ƒ/2.8L USM ~$1,200. It's usually an unfair comparison to match a zoom to a prime lens, but in this case, the 24-70mm L-glass bests the 24mm ƒ/2.8 prime in almost every category Apprentice.

This was clearly evident in our DxO tests as well. More on this later. Given its importance, Canon was quick to release one for R-mount - namely the Canon RF 24-70mm f/2.8 USM L IS, priced at around 2500EUR/2300USD. That's almost a 50% price hike compared to Canon's DSLR variant. Of course, these are very different designs and the RF lens adds the all-important image stabilizer on top.
