Good Grief –
Nice wide angle lens to get a different perspective than what’s available for a 24mm. Great for event rooms and yard landscapes.

I’ve been shooting a lot with this lens on my R6 and Komodo, it fills a great space on the widest end of my kit. AF is super fast and smooth, even in video. Even portraits are fun with it. My only complaint is that it’s not a pancake lens like my fave old EF 40mm, but that’s Canon for you.

Switched from sony system back to canon and R5 and R6. Needed a wide angle lens for real estate photography for RF mount. Only time I use ultra wide is real estate. Lens does a great job! Sharp enough great color reproduction, chromatic aberrations well controlled. Autofocus a bit on the slower side which not an issue for me. Money and value in my case is 5 stars! Does exactly what it was purchased for!

I own the RF 15-35mm and while it creates great images, it is:1) Heavy2) Expensive3) largeThis lens is the opposite, it is LIGHT, INEXPENSIVE, and SMALL.And yet, it still takes a great picture. Be sure to shoot jpeg or use Canon’s software with your raw files until the Adobe updates and what not come out, this lens NEEDS distortion correction to look good, but the results at f5.6 and above are as good as the $2400 15-35.

It’s $300. If you don’t have a wide angle lens, just buy it! I have no complaints whatsoever, it’s just as sharp as the 50mm 1.8 and the focus is just as good. They have added lens corrections in Lightroom!

Using this lens with my RP, the setup isn’t that much heavier or bulkier than my smartphone. I can finally easily carry a full frame camera everywhere – a dream!The quality of the images from this lens is superb, though there seems to be some issue with the firmware – it says it needs updating to use this lens. I’ve been using the lens without this update, but I keep getting messages about it whenever I wake up the camera for a photo.I only wish there was IS because the RP does not have in-body image stabilization. That limits me a lot in low light, even with the f/2.8. Why is everything in life a trade-off? Oh well. I’m still very happy to have this new lens, and at this price it was a no-brainer.

I’m not much button lenses, but I thought I’d check it out. Color contrast is excellent. It actually will focus down to one inch. Freaked me out too. I put a filter on to protect the lens as always. The camera offers stabilization for the lens. After 40 years of photography, I’m impressed.

I’m a real estate agent and amateur photog. I didn’t have time to book a photographer so I got this lens for emergencies like this and I want to learn astral photography. There is barrel distortion along the edges like most wide angles but you can fix all of that in photoshop. I use the warp tool. You cannot go wrong with thi lens for the money.

For the cost and its excellent portability this is a great lens. It’s small, light, renders good color and has very good sharpness across the frame. The corners are less sharp than the center but this is true of most lens. To focus, this lens uses an audible STM motor. When it focuses you can hear a soft humming sound, this is normal. The lens focus speed is similar to all of the other Canon STM lens, not super fast but fast enough for many situations. If you focus stack or shoot video over you might want to know that the lens does focus breath a little. The lens is mostly plastic but still has a good feel and is built well enough for normal use. This lens does not have a weather seal on the camera mount like some of the higher end lens. The lens accepts 43mm sized threaded filters on the front. A lens hood is not included but may be purchased separately, it uses model: EW-65C. In summary, if you shoot with the Canon RF system you should strongly consider adding one of these to your camera bag! Update: the latest version of Adobe Lightroom now has built-in profiles for this lens!

I know you’ve seen the reviews, you know that this lens uses some tricks to correct the images, and you know even so, the pictures look great. Not many options for 16mm RF lenses, but it’s by far the best option you will get. I didn’t shoot much with it yet, so I don’t have a lot of shots to showcase here. The autofocus is really damn good. This beats my ultrawide iPhone 11 lens by miles, well it’s also because of the sensor on my RP, but yeah.
