Canon EF 28-70mm f/3.5-4.5 II ***Ideal Full Frame Budget Lens***

Canon EF 28-70mm f/3.5-4.5 II 

The Canon EF 28-70mm f/3.5-4.5 II is one of the little known secrets  .... the resolution figures are highly impressive and the other optical characteristics are at least on a decent level.

The lens received some outstanding magazine test results so it´s surely interesting to have a deeper look how this oldie performs on a DSLR

In the lab the lens was pretty capable to live up to its reputation. At 28mm the quality is already pretty good at wide-open aperture and its increasing a little bit to excellent levels at medium apertures. At 40mm and 70mm the lens is even a little better. It may be surprising but according to the local Imatests the lens is only beaten by the EF 28-70mm f/2.8 USM L and even here it´s quite close.
