Hire Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM

If you’re a Canon user after a general-purpose focal range combined with a fast maximum aperture look no further than the EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM. Built to Canon’s professional L-series standard with weather sealing and fast, silent autofocus, it’s a lens that’s hard to pick fault with and returns images of exceptional quality. As well as impressive centre sharpness wide open at f/2.8, users can expect it to handle ghosting and flare extremely well when shooting directly towards the light. The only downsides are its lack of optical image stabilisation to suppress camera shake and that it becomes a little soft wide-open at its minimum focus distance.
