Canon RF 15-35mm F2.8L IS USM Review
The-Digital-Picture has completed its comprehensive review of the Canon RF 15-35mm F2.8L IS USM.
At a glance;
- RF-Mount Lens/Full-Frame Format
- Aperture Range: f/2.8 to f/22
- Three Aspherical Elements
- Two Ultra-Low Dispersion Elements
- Air-Sphere and Fluorine Coatings
- Nano USM AF System
- Optical Image Stabilizer
- Customizable Control Ring
- Rounded 9-Blade Diaphragm
The results were excellent, and there were also some notables that stood out for me. The coma at 15mm for astrophotography is excellent;
Astrophotographers will notice that these results are among the best from any lens we have tested. While perfection is not being reached with some mild stretching of (and/or horns attached) to the corner stars, the effects are mild in comparison to many other lenses in this class.
TDP's conclusion on the lens;
Always of utmost importance is image quality and this lens delivers excellence in this regard. Some peripheral shading and moderate pincushion distortion at the long end of the focal length range (your portrait clients may find this slimming) are the primary opportunities remaining. The incredible-performing image stabilization system will help realize impressive image quality even when shooting handheld.
The Nano USM AF system is fast (yet smooth), nearly silent, and most importantly, precisely accurate, ensuring the optimal image quality is achieved. The L-series build grade promises reliable service to those using their lenses daily and environmental sealing aids in that use outdoors. While not small or light, this lens is quite comfortable to use and the zoom and focus rings perform optimally.
