High-Performance Optics

The advanced design of 19 lens elements in 14 groups ensures razor-sharp results across the frame, even wide open at f/2.8. SLD (Special Low Dispersion) and aspherical glass elements correct chromatic aberration, distortion, flare, and ghosting, producing images with accurate colour, high contrast, and exceptional clarity.

Coatings further reduce flare and ghosting when shooting in challenging light, ensuring bold colours, deep blacks, and crisp details.

Low-Light & Portrait Excellence

With its constant f/2.8 aperture, the 24-70mm excels in low-light environments, such as weddings, events, and indoor shoots. The wide aperture also creates a shallow depth of field for beautiful subject separation, especially effective for portraits at the telephoto end.

Close Focusing & Creative Bokeh

Thanks to a minimum focusing distance of 37cm and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:4.8, the lens is also highly capable for close-up photography. The rounded 9-blade diaphragm produces smooth, natural bokeh that enhances subjects without distracting backgrounds.
