High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Canon EF 24–70mm is a family of professional EF mount wide-to-normal zoom lenses manufactured and sold by Canon. The first of the family, the EF 24-70mm f/2.8L, was introduced in 2002 to replace the well-regarded 28-70mm f/2.8L. Two later versions were announced in 2012. The first of these, the EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II, was announced by Canon in February, but would not ship to customers until September of that year. This lens replaced the Mk I, and costs about US$ 2299. The latest member of the family is the EF 24–70mm f/4L IS USM, announced in November 2012 and expected to be available in December. The f/4 version, which is the first of the family to include image stabilization, will be the standard kit lens for the Canon EOS 6D.
