Canon EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM Reviews

The-digital-picture reviews the Canon EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM and writes;
“The Canon EF 24-70mm f/4 L IS USM Lens receives Canon’s 4-stop Hybrid Image Stabilization feature. If panning is detected, the 24-70 f/4 IS switches off stabilization in one direction. With an approaching-1:1 macro reproduction ratio, this lens will make good use of the HIS technology. “Hybrid IS detects both angular and shift movements when in macro mode.”"

Ephotozine reviews the Canon EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM and writes;
“A constant f/4 aperture throughout the zoom range provides photographers with exceptional creative control, allowing blurring of the background of a scene at all focal lengths. A nine-blade circular iris also assists photographers in making their subjects stand out, delivering beautiful out of focus highlights (bokeh) in the background blur to add atmosphere to a shot.”
