I use back button focus and really miss being able to take over and focus manually like I did/do with my old EF 24-105. However, I love the images and the one stop speed advantage over my f4. For what I shoot the vignetting isn't an issue for me. I'm still adjusting from decades of zoom in, focus recompose style shooting.
It's a bit of a joke Canon are releasing lenses with vignetting and distortion this bad now and just dealing with it in post since its an all digital system now.
I can appreciate that - potentially a seperate designation rather than just L series then - so people know up front there is a noticeable sacrifice in image quality that requires digital corrections. They could have cut the size and weight years ago not through lens R&D but by creating problems to fix in post later @@ChargedPulsar
Great review as always, cheers! Do you feel a big difference in the autofocus speed from the EF version?
Where did you get that lens cap?
Would your recommend the RF15 over the RF14?

Where is the joke? This is how they keep the size and weight down. New lenses are meant to use corrections.

Yes and no. Yes, it's annoying to have that distortion, but the lens is very good.
