A PRO L lens debuting in 1993 is still a great lens even almost 30 year later: Canon EF 28-70mm f/2.8L

This lens takes very sharp pictures. The only thing that could make this lens perfect is if it had Image Stabilization too. This lens is a workhorse. Compared to mostly plastic lenses, Tamron & Sigma, this lens is HEAVY. This lens works very well with my Canon 5D Mark III. In-camera JPGs look great. Since the price of SD cards and HDDs/SSDs have come down in price, I'm shooting RAW+jpg. This lens works great on full frame and crop sensor cameras that take EF lenses. I'm no pro, so I can't justify buying L lenses for my hobby. Just like cream puff cars, pro level lenses that have been taken well care of are a bargain compared to their brand new counterparts.
The reviews of this lens are spot on. Check out its marks in dxomark lens ratings. This lens will be great the next time I take wedding photos for fun.

beautiful color rendition

one of the finest color killer.
Sharpness is same or bit better than 24-70mm F2.8 L mark 1
bit heavy and shot focal length, otherwise perfect casual prograde lens

Great Canon lens

Versatile 28-70 mm zoom lens, built to last. This lens was built more than 20 years ago and works like it's brand new autofocus image stabilization sharp pictures.

Great lens, some wiggle in extended barrel

Absolute unit of a lens, great photos, weather sealed is nice feature, very sharp, bought used and the barrel of lens that extends has slight wobble but very minor, might just be the way it is, wear and tear or maybe it needs a tighten up, but im overall satisfiedRead full review

Love

Came quickly, in great condition. Seems to work great. The lens hood was a little scratched up but that doesn't really alter how it works, so no problems here!

An undervalued lens

This is an older lens, once the standard in all pro kits. It was replaced a few years later with the 24-70, but it still an outstanding (and now undervalued) lens. If you can get a lightly used model, this is a great lens--very crisp and clear, with rich color rendering. I feel the AF is a little slow compared to newer lenses, but it is still quick.

The hood is difficult to come by, I've found, so bonus if you can get a used lens *with* the hood.
