You can certainly shoot the moon!

Re: You can certainly shoot the moon!

I'm a photojournalist and agree that this review is dead on. The lack of IS is too bad because I sometimes work in extremely low light conditions where stabilization would be handy. I would also appreciate a deeper lens hood to protect that massive 82mm front lens element.

But the optical quality of Canon's 24-70 f/2.8L II is truly outstanding, (better than the 70-200!). In addition, the resistance to lens flare, even when shooting directly into light sources, is incredible for a zoom lens.

Canon is charging a ton of money for this mid-range zoom, but you can sometimes find a price drop if you keep checking for sales.
