This was an incredible letdown. I had been waiting for just this exact lens for so long. I received it and loved the size and weight. The loose, clunking elements annoyed me some, but when poor quality of the standalone, uncorrected photos, I heart sank. I returned it the very next day. This is the worst L glass on the RF mount by far. Sad day. Shame on canon.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Sharp, fast lens. It is sharper into the corners than the older EF version. It gets a 4 out of 5 from me though because of the amount of chromatic aberration present in a premium lens at this price point. I'm more of a photographer than a videographer and shoot RAW images. The in camera corrections and smooth aperture ring does make it a good video lens. Quite continuous autofocus too.

Incredible lens

Absolutely remarkable lens from Canon. As a full-time wedding photographer who primarily shoots with primes (35mm, 50mm, 85mm), I have eagerly awaited this lens since Canon introduced their Mirrorless body offerings.
I absolutely adore the RF 50mm 1.2 and the 85mm 1.2. They are truly amazing lenses, and the RF 35mm 1.4 is an exceptional addition to the trio.
The image quality of the new 35mm is outstanding in every way, from the sharpness at both the center and edges to the natural color rendition. However, what I appreciate most is the weight reduction of this lens. As I approach 40, carrying heavy lenses for a 10-hour wedding day has become quite a chore. While 2 pounds for a lens might not seem significant, it really is when you're holding that, along with an R3 and a speedlite, to your face for 10 hours. I have always envied my friends with Sony lenses because they are lighter, but now with Canon's lighter offerings, I am thrilled. The iconic Canon colors and glass, is something I and many others have loved for years, but now with the additional weight savings that love grows stronger. These lighter lenses not only reduce fatigue throughout the day but also allow me to position my camera in ways that were previously impossible due to ligament and joint strain.
And Canon, if you happen to read this, please, please, please release lighter L lenses in 50mm and 85mm. As a wedding professional, I would much rather take a light 1.4 over a heavy 1.2 any day. Keep up the great work!
