The basic early opinions from people who have claimed to have shot with this lens have been positive. They said it was sharp and I saw no obvious corner vignetting (so far) in the samples posted. Those were not meant to have been edited. But as an f/1.4 lens, I would expect to see some falloff in the corners (like most bright lenses tend to demonstrate). My guess is that the M-series cameras will potentially need an update to accommodate the new lens... unless Canon saw fit to include it in advance in some way. Anyone had a chance to check yet (since at least one member says he has picked his lens up already)?
.
When previous lenses were released, occasional Firmware updates have surfaced. I seem to remember one was needed for the 11-22mm lens. I'm wondering if we'll see one (or need one) with the new lens. I've used about 4 different "fast" lenses on my EOS M cameras ranging from f/1.2 to f/1.4 and f/2... and they all appeared to be recognized by the camera when connected. And they all tended to offer an amount of light falloff in the corners - though somewhat subtle. The in-camera lens correction resolved this most of the time with JPEGS. The option of enabling peripheral correction with newer M-camera may simply be a generic one where the cameras can now recognize whether or not the lens requires adjustment without the need for Firmware updates for specific lenses.
I think the camera downloads the data from the lens itself when it is attached.
