Additionally, the fast f/2.8 aperture allows me to isolate subjects with a shallow depth of field, creating more aesthetic images as well as the formation of bokeh with small balls of light in the out of focus areas of the image. The bokeh that this lens achieves is much better than comparable lenses because of its rounded aperture blades.
When shooting the wedding I was using the 24-70mm on a Canon EOS 7D Mark II with an equivalent focal length of 38.4-112mm. I found that, especially for grouped shots with the whole gathering in a church, that at its widest point it was not enough so I found myself going to the Canon EF 16-35mm f/4.0L IS USM. With the crop factor at 1.6x it was an equivalent of 25.6mm, so on a full frame body you would find for most scenarios that it would not be necessary to change to a wider lens.
I found when shooting with the lens that it delivers very fast auto focus with the incorporation of Canon’s ultrasonic motor that is very fast and quiet and allows for stealthier shooting.
At the widest part of the lens there is very little distortion as well as being incredibly sharp throughout the zoom range. I was also able to see that the lens was not only sharp in the centre, but also towards the edges of the frame; this then gives the photographer more confidence that all the files are going to be usable, and with the stresses of shooting a wedding this is very reassuring.


Overall I was very pleased with the capabilities of this lens and would love the opportunity to use it again.
