Pros:Size, weight, flare resistance, beautiful starry, stabilization, sharpness, those 14mm
Cons:the high price like all Rf L lenses
Opinion:It is attached to the R6 as if it were glued and has no weak points to report. Compared to the 16-35 f4 is that I had in the past improves almost in all an already very good lens and in addition gives those 2mm wide side that are so much stuff. Also closed to f11-f16 has an excellent star effect on the light points "from fixed optical level". It is already sharp at f4 and touches its max at f8 where even at the corners it is gorgeous. For me the perfect travel wide angle
Opinion:I happily replace the already tested and excellent 16-35 f4 that on the R, for size and greater weight (due to adapter), had become tiring to carry over the shoulder. The autofocus is superfast, the color quality excellent. At 14mm focal length at full aperture is already OK on the whole frame, from 5.6 from the maximum. Space on all other focal lengths from edge to edge. Really successful optics.
Opinion:I have owned the lens in question for a few months and after a few hundred photos taken I can say that it is neither meat nor fish. Low weight, but to my scale still marks 640 gr and not 540 as stated, small dimensions, autofocus that as much as needed in a wide angle is very quiet and fast. The cons are varied and annoying, really obscene vignetting at 14 mm, totally black corners, sample distortion, never seen anything like that even on the 14 mm samyang that costs 4 times less. the beauty is that once thrown into the LR meal the vignetting disappears and the distortion disappears (but not always) also thanks to the fact that it is not a 14 mm but a 12 that is then corrected and cut out. Flare strange and ugly, shooting against the light I noticed in almost all the times when the light is lateral and quite strong colored shades and circles that are not fixable in post in the starry flare. Result far from even a humble tamron 17-35 that I previously owned and never gave me problems. The sharpness has never thrilled me but I reserve other tests In conclusion if you want a light, compact all-rounder lens with wide focal range is fine. What is not good is the price, paid 1760 euros for a lens that at best should be sold at 1000 euros or so. In short, it does not excel in anything but you photograph almost everything without problems with an unjustified economic outlay.
Pros:Truly compact size, the only RF zoom so far that manages to reach 14mm, stratospheric sharpness already at f4 better even than RF 15-35 f2.8
Cons:Inexplicable degradation of sharpness only at 35mm which is still bearable, already at 30mm disappears immediately, usual af and is keys not up to an L series.
Opinion:Really successful lens for compactness, performance and lightness, in my opinion ideal for landscape photos, photographic trips or if you need a wide angle (zoom) pushed without the weight and bulk of the brighter brother. As a construction I copy the L RF series even if I have already noticed a hair of dust in the rear lens (the protective one that attaches to the barrel), so I reserve for the actual tropicalization of this lens. Like almost all the L series RF always has those af and is horrible and impractical keys (unsuccessful design because they are difficult to identify if you look for them with the touch). The sharpness as already mentioned is excellent already at f4 with all focal lengths except for the longer limit; at 35mm it inexplicably loses sharpness and incisiveness (a real shame because in all the others it is even better than the RF 15-35); at 14mm you notice a slight distortion, the photos are still spatial, the vignetting is noticeable but I do not consider it a defect, I like it so much that sometimes I accentuate it in post so it simplifies my work. Curious the fact that the barrel stretches respectively to 14mm and 35mm in half remains closed, it would have been nice to see it closed in one of these two focal lengths even if I think it is a purely structural thing. Even the hood being a wide angle is very compact and goes well with the lens (highly recommended a protective filter to preserve the front lens). Price decidedly high considering some things mentioned, it is falling slightly only in this period, paid new at € 1600 with five years of warranty, happy only because at this price you can not even find used not because it is an honest price.
