Is the canon rf 24 70mm f 2 8l is usm good for portraits?

The Canon RF 24-70mm f/2.8L IS USM is a good everyday portrait lens, but it isn't a portrait specialist. The 24mm to 70mm range suits environmental portraits, where you want the setting in the frame, and f/2.8 gives you real background softness at the long end. Stabilisation helps in dim rooms. It fits a long list of full-frame Canon RF bodies, including the Canon EOS R6 Mark II and the Canon EOS R5 Mark II.

For the classic tight head-and-shoulders look, the Portraits page makes the case for an 85mm to 135mm lens. The focal length guide explains why.
