I’m not sure it’s fair to set aside the f/2; it affords creativity otherwise not available to a zoom.

.

To set it aside I think the 24-70 2.8 is more sharp from the images I’ve seen, but, the 28-70 f/2 has a more unique look. Sharpness alone does not make a good lens. Bokeh quality, not just quantity come into play as does sunstars, contrast rendering, and flare resistance. The 28-70 combined with those and f/2 access makes for dramatic shots. The sort of shots I got from the EF 24-70 f/2.8L II on a 5D III (my favorite color renderer) come to mind but having f/2. It’s simply amazing.
