Excellent Prime Wide Lens

Purchased lens about a month ago and have taken landscape and city pictures and really enjoy the lens. Optically very good corner to corner (using automatic corrections) and from wide open at f1.4, focuses quickly, light weight on camera (well balanced). All around excellent.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Perfect form factor, and unrivaled astrophotography wide angle prime!

I’m very pleased with this lens. I’ve been wanting a fast wide prime for astrophotography for a long time. It would be awesome to have a wider lens at f/1.4 or f/1.8 but it would probably be huge! This VCM lens is such a perfect weight and size compared to the other RF L series primes that I would consider getting the 35mm and 50mm f/1.4 versions on size alone.
I haven’t used it extensively yet, but I did take it out for some astrophotography and the results were fantastic. I could limit the exposure time to 10 seconds to get pin point stars, while at f/1.4 and ISO 6400 I could still get brilliant colors out of the Milky Way.
For astrophotography I don’t think this lens has any competition. For all other purposes, the competition is steep. But given the video friendly features of this wide angle prime, I imagine it could fill an important niche. I only dabble in video so I can’t insist upon it, but there’s a lot to love about this lens.
It should be no surprise by now that it does lean on digital lens corrections, as almost all RF lenses do, but not so heavily as to feel like you’re being cheated. I think it’s a great balance of high optical performance, digital correction, and perfect form factor.
No color fringing. No coma aberrations on point source lights even in the extreme corners, uncorrected, wide open. Excellent sharpness!
As a bonus, try Canon’s neural network lens correction and noise reduction software! It’s awesome!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great lens for landscape and milky way

I bought this lens for landscape and Milky Way photos. Sharp and fast from corner to corner. I wish that canon would make a <16mm f2 lens.
I would recommend this to a friend!
