Re: 24-70 f/2.8L II LensRental test

In reply to 7enderbender, 8 months ago

Why do you people still think that there is anything wrong with modern plastics?

The 24-70 II is significantly more durable than the 24-70 I.

What is your impression of the build quality? The fact that this new version is lighter and made from plastic makes me (again) kick myself that I didn't buy the original 24-70 two years ago and went with the less impressive 24-105 instead.
