Hi guys,

I wonder if I could pick your brains...

Does the Canon 24-70L f/2.8 II have a long 150º focus throw? (I couldn't find any official figures and found that number along with 110º on the net) And... Is it easy (in your opinion) and smooth to manually focus?

Cheers,

Mark.

The focus throw on the 24-70 f/2.8L II from infinity to .38 meter appears to be a little over 90 degrees. Maybe 100-110 degrees, tops.

Operation is smooth as silk with little drag.

Ken Rockwell first says it is about 120 degrees, but later in the review says it is about 110 degrees.  Ken Rockwell EF 24-70 II review
