Note: The Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM Lens has been replaced by the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM Lens.
The Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM Lens is an impressively high performing zoom lens. I regard it as one of the best general purpose lenses available and for the same reasons, it is one of the most-professionally-used Canon lenses. The 24-70 L is as good as it gets in this focal length range.

The 24-70 L shown above is mounted to a Canon EOS-1D Mark III.
The Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM Lens is a very sharp lens - few zoom lenses reach this level of sharpness. The 24-70 L is sharp in the center at f/2.8 at all focal lengths and performs very well in the corners.
