The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.
Pros:Sharpness, almost zero vignetting, stabilization, tropicalization, flare resistance.
Cons:Not comfortable back cap, large size filters.
Opinion:Excellent lens that I use for videos, but especially for landscape photos. Sharp from edge to edge in any focal length. Gorgeous color rendering, wonderful AF. A bit heavy, but not too much. (It also gets dirty easily, as indeed all new RF). Vignetting practically absent, correctable, as well as distortion (in post). I still haven't been disappointed after a year of use.
Cons:Weight in the first place, price (obviously as an absolute value, not in relation to quality)
Opinion:A few years ago I went from apsc to FF.... With this passage I had lost the habit of "light". The 2.8 is a pleasure, fast focus, stellar quality, incredible sharpness, little distortion and vignette pulls practically absent. Even shooting "in a hurry" is difficult to miss the shot. But it is the comment of a "country" amateur.
Pros:Homogeneous sharpness over the entire format and over the entire focal range, exceptional resolution, build quality, stabilization, reduced distortion, excellent flare resistance.
Cons:the selling price
Opinion:I owned the legendary EF 16-35mm f/2.8 L III USM which is still a reference lens for Canon wide anglers. This RF manages to do slightly better and in addition it is stabilized with an extra millimeter on the wide-angle side. Impeccably built, like all RF L has a customizable bezel and is tropicalized. It was immediately love at first sight repaid by wonderful files and rich in details. The flares are very contained, the vignetting normal for the focal length of the lens that however disappears by activating the correction in the camera. It does not regret the best fixed in the house and solves the sensor of the R5 in a great way.
Pros:Excellent containment of all issues related to the range of focal lengths considered. Consistent performance and sharpness throughout the format. Effective stabilization. Build quality.
Cons:None in particular, apart from the not indifferent cost.
Opinion:Canon in previous versions, of the counterpart for SLR (to be precise the 16-35 f2.8), had failed in the intent to design and create an optics that did not arouse strong perplexities, which notoriously led users to prefer the cheapest and least bright version: the f4 which, in many respects, was more performing. Now it can be said, indeed, that the ghosts of the past are behind us and that this lens surprises in every respect considered. Moreover, the software for correcting distortion, aberration etc. works great in the car, without considering that, unlike its predecessor, this one is also stabilized here. Amazing both sharpness and contrast: you have the feeling that these RF optics have been designed to solve, in perspective, increasingly dense sensors. The bokeh, then, is a very pleasant surprise, considering that we are dealing with a wide angle.
Opinion:I have this lens paired with the R5 since September 2021, I have not used it very much but it is really fantastic, a sharpness never seen before in a UWA zoom (I came from the excellent 16-35 F4 L IS). The extra millimeter on the wide-angle side is very useful and the stabilization very effective. The only negative note is the price, but I do not think there are similar wide angles on the market
Opinion:Canon in this perspective has included all the know-how related to the three editions of the EF 16-35/2.8 and the result can be seen! The RF 15-35/2.8 is a practically perfect lens if it were not for the excessive vignetting, however easily corrected in the car or recoverable in PP. I keep it practically always hooked to the R6 with which it achieves an excellent combination. It is an L series and as soon as it is put to work it does not betray expectations. The hood is not so effective with strongly side lights, sometimes you notice unwanted reflections and/or ghost images. Unfortunately, the price is still very high.
Opinion:A real L!!! What struck me the most was definitely the Sharpness even at full opening both in the center and at the edges... excellent stabilization, very contained flares and vignetting that all in all did not seem at all accentuated compared to other wide-angle objectives That I had ... maybe at f2.8 without correction in the room you notice a little but closing at f4 almost disappears, so to "landscape diaphragms" disappears altogether, however nothing to reproach compared to any other 16-35mm on the market today ... If also active the correction in the room obviously everything settles and the vignetting disappears even at F2.8. It must always be considered that the focal range of this zoom is quite wide (there is no 15-35mm f2.8...and not even f4) so Canon engineers will have had "a few" more headaches to design this lens, as although the focal range is 1 mm wider than the classic 16-35mm we must always consider that we are talking about a wide angle where an more millimeter makes a big difference in the design phase... So applaud canon engineers! Ultimately, as I wrote at the beginning of this review, this lens is a real L series with all the attributes!!!
Pros:Sharpness, yield uniformity across the format, reduced sprains, excellent flare resistance, prodigious stabilizer
Cons:For now none, price aside.
Opinion:Very recent purchase, so far I have taken a hundred images, just to prove it in the most critical conditions and the different focal points; it is an excellent product, it does not make regret the best fixed in the house (less bad because I have permuted them to buy it). Probably the least criticality offered by the very small draft of the bayonet R allows to achieve very high performance even in the peripheral areas of the image, Achilles heel of all wide-angle zooms with strongly retrofocus scheme. At least, even at full opening equals the latter if diaphragmated to f:8 or f:11, which is not little, especially in the shooting in poor ambient light, where the max aperture allows to reduce ISOs. If you also consider the efficiency of the stabilizer, this zoom is ideal for freehand interior shooting. Compared to the 11-24/4 L, from which I reluctantly had to separate, this clearly prevails on the level of resistance to flare in the direct or slightly tangential backlight, which was the major defect (perhaps the only one, moreover) of 11-24/4 L, whose extreme optical scheme, however, I do not think allowed to do better. Of course, it lacks the range of focal lengths from 11 to 14, in the face of a double brightness, the presence of IS and of course the excursion 24-35, more functional to a generalist and less specialized use. However, this is also an excellent realization of the newborn R system.
Opinion:Reading the first impressions of a well-known newspaper I was puzzled, less bad that I did not listen to him and I wanted to try it in person. Impeccable optics in all respects in my opinion except for the front section that extends forward dezoomo from 35mm to 15mm and seems made to mail to let us in the rain, it is still guaranteed tropicalized so we trust... I imagine it was designed to limit its footprints as much as possible as on other optics such as the Rf 70-200. Optically perfect, compared directly with my 16-35 f4L IS wins on all fronts and little even on sharpness at the same opening. To be tested again for flares but for now there is no sign of it. Fully satisfied.
