Jack of all trades
This a great lens for the professional covering events were you might be required to pull out a bit for group shot etc. It is better than it's predecessor the Canon 28-70mm for those tight situations by saving you time and effort from having to swap out lenses at the last minute. Many of my photojournalist and photo studio friends recommend this lens. You just can't go wrong with it.

Wow! You can't get much better than this3 of 3 people found this review helpful.
This has got to be one of Canon's best zoom lenses out there. It is obviously an L lens for a reason. I used to shoot with the Sigma 24-60mm f/2.8 before I finally gave in and took the plunge on this baby. Wow, what a difference. The quality in detail and sharpness is amazing. It really makes the subject pop. I've done quality comparisons between the two and everything is just much more crisp.
So let's see- is it worth 2.5-3x the price? That's a tough question and it depends. If you are making money off of these shots, then the lens will pay for itself. If quality is important to you, then it's worth it. If this is just a hobby where you may spend a couple hours a month, then maybe it's not worth it. I will say that to me (I photog for money and pleasure), it was most definitely worth it!!
It's a pretty heavy lens. I also have the 24-105mm f/4, and use that as a travel lens, since it is much lighter and has a bit more range. The 24-70 I use if I want the best picture possible. Obviously the important factor is composition and having an eye for art, but I am just referring to the picture quality with respect to the lens taking it.
The bokeh is nice and smooth, just really makes the picture come together and pop.
I always say "invest in lenses and don't worry about the body so much." This lens be it on a MkII or Rebel makes everything shine.
