Tried 4 copies ...

Agreed. I'm curious though what your reasons were for not getting the EF 50L f1.2?

The lens I wanted to love. Rented one about the time of release (2007) and loved it — both on full frame and APS-C. Later I tried to purchase them as soon as they hit the Canon refurb store (I buy many lenses there) and couldn't get a good one. Either the AF was not reliable, or the purple fringe was off the chart, or the lens was just plain soft. After the 4th try, I gave up.

This RF50 feels like it's from another manufacturer — heck, another planet.
