Lenses / Re: Canon EF 24-70 f/2.8L II

as is, i don't believe that this dog is going to hunt.

Exactly.

I'm shooting with the Sigma IF EX DG 2.8 24-70 and unless Canon rocks IS on their new 24-70 I can't imagine switching. The Sigma only seems to fall short in that if I point it right at the Sun there are some flares captured. Not really an issue at all, since I know how to avoid the problem.

@puqq,

Enough said....

http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/ISO-12233-Sample-Crops.aspx?Lens=372&Camera=9&Sample=0&FLI=0&API=0&LensComp=101&CameraComp=0&FLIComp=0&APIComp=0

At least in this test the Canon destroys the Sigma, once again the proverb proves itself..... Buy the best, cry once.

That's the older sigma without HSM! I really would like to see a comparison like this with this newer HSM Sigma...

I have the new IF EX DG sigma 24-70 and I can tell you it is a very very nice lens! It is a completely different animal to the older version.

As a Florida Scuba Photographer, I would think in order to build a watertight case they would need to have the model on hand. Building cases have to be perfect so that you can maintain button functionally and a perfect fit to seal the case.

just my thoughts anyways

+1

One would think that it would have to be an actual working model in order to do testing as well.

Match this with a pro level AF system and it will be simply irresistible!

The 24-70/2.8 *IS* the 2.8 version of the 24-105/4.

But without the *IS* 

LOL exactly.... wish I could have replied with that.

Truth is if Canon released a 24-70 2.8L with IS the could charge whatever they wanted for it... I would dish it out. It would be the perfect video lens for me.

I have 2.8.1 from the link above and it won't work on my MBP. :/

UPDATE: I removed the install of the utility I had before, then ran the updater with the disc in my MBP and NOW it works!! YES!!! WOOT!!!

Any solution for this?

Will Aperture capture video when tethered?

Thanks,
