Pros: Sharpness, focal length up to 15 mm, distortion

Cons: Worst flare ever, price

Opinion: Very mixed opinions for this lens. It would seem to be a perfect lens: 15mm, impeccable sharpness, minimal distortion... It would be worth every euro if it weren't for an unfortunately not negligible flaw: flare resistance. With this lens it is impossible to take pictures against the light. I come from an EF 16-35mm f/4 (which is half the price) and I've never had a problem pointing it at a light source. I'm pretty disappointed. To learn more about the flare problem of the RF 15-35mm F/2.8 I refer to this in-depth discussion: https://www.juzaphoto.com/topic2.php?l=it&t=4483419&show=1

Pros: All the quality of RF L-series glass

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: Precise optics and excellent glass. Perhaps accustomed to the RF 28-70, this 15-35 is a twig. The mechanism is very fluid and silent. Fast AF. Excellent rendering in sharpness and colors typical of Canon. A joy to use. Very efficient. I would add that also for this RF-L, the opportunity to update the signature of these optics not only improves the performance of the stabilizer in combination with the IBIS, but a continuous evolution/coupled with the future R5mk2, R3, R1 etc.

Pros: It doesn't illuminate the sensor, it sculpts it!

Cons: It is not a stalk.

Opinion: I have been using it for three years coming from the excellent EF 16-35F4L IS inherited from the 5DIII that I used with the adapter. Despite the demanding F2.8 aperture, this zoom shows how the aperture can only be used for 'artistic' reasons. Closing in order to achieve greater quality is in fact useless, the variations are very modest. The really high sharpness already at TA, with the edges qualitatively glued to the center, is paired with a vignetting that is never a problem, as well as distortion. The hood has not proved to be very efficient, probably to improve it we should resort to its greater dimensioning but increasing the fatigue of use; On the other hand, we are helped by a really good backlight resistance in such a complex perspective. The mechanics are precise, the rotations are uniform, almost velvety (similar to some Zeiss of Contax). I find the lens clean and well cared for, certainly the volume and weight do not apply it as ideal for hiking in the mountains, but if you accept the effort you are amply rewarded with so much quality, especially in scenes with strong contrast. A great glass, chapeau Canon.

Pros: Sharpness, color, autofocus, low distortion

Cons: Nothing

Opinion: What makes mom canon winning are its optics, which other brands do not have.. Specifically, I use this perspective in weddings and I assure you that only with her do everything .. And you do it with stellar quality. Af, colors, sharpness are at the top .. Even the price may seem excessive but as soon as you use it you understand how much quality you have with you .. For those who can afford it, do not take anything else.. Events and photo books at 35 mm are his bread .. Vote 10

Pros: Sharpness, color, stabilization, optical distortion correction, flare resistance and aesthetics

Cons: only the cost

Opinion: I bought this lens as a replacement for the excellent EF 16-35 f/4. I was very undecided whether to buy the 14-35 f/4 RF, which is definitely more compact, but once tried next to each other I opted for this. I use it combined with the R5 on which it always returns a very high resolution to all apertures and focal lengths It does not particularly suffer from backlight, always controlling parasitic reflections optimally. It is the natural complement to the wide focal lengths of the 24-70 RF, another very high quality lens. The distortion is very well managed, especially at focal length 15 mm, without any software magic. Colors absolutely in line with those offered by the 24-70 RF and the same applies to the stabilization that, combined with that of the sensor of the R5, allows you to take pictures without the aid of the tripod even in low light conditions. I find the blur at the maximum aperture at 35 mm particularly pleasing. Last note, perfect mechanical construction with fluid rings without any kind of play.
