Canon has established certain expectations for their L-glass and there are certain features the buyer expects. It is always their best build quality and it is designed for full frame cameras. There should be one additional feature of L lenses. They should be designed well enough that in-camera and post processing distortion correction should be mostly unnecessary and CERTAINLY not mandatory in-camera.
The lens was designed to have distortion and vignetting which must be corrected in-camera or in post. This makes it a simpler and less expensive lens with minimal performance compromises.
I was under the impression that the vignetting only occurred at 14mm, f4.0 on the raw files when there is no correction. I had heard the jpg files had little to no vignetting. Is this true?
they somehow managed to release a lens which loses to Tamron 15-30 f2.8 VC which is almost 10 years old, and it still makes more economical and technical sense to adapt it than to get this one for the price they charge.
What an amazing thorough review! Loved it!!
Nice review, thanks!
Great for landscape photographers...unless they want to do HDR or any other multiple exposure shooting.

I own this lens, you nailed it 😊 🍻

Nice one James. Great video.
Great vid as always.👍 will the 24-105 f4 be reviewed soon ? Thanks !😊
Agree. For such a small zoom extension, they could have easily made it internal zooming by being just a tad longer. But great lens anyway…
Great lens. The lens hood protects the front, should you drop it
