You posted closeups. If this is what you need it for, fine.

I downloaded a bunch of images from IR taken with this lens and the RP. What I see there is mediocre, at best. I cannot believe that Canon would make such a lens at whatever price point. Strong PF, double line bokeh, you name it.

I didn’t have time to go through the entire set on IR, but if the white flower closeup is the one you looked at to check the bokeh, I agree that it looks horrendous with busy bokeh and double-lines all over the place, my goodness. If that was the best my RF 35mm could do, I’d be as acerbic about it as you!

No, closeups are OK. Where this (and many other) lenses fail is when you focus farther away.

poor bokeh

strong PF, horrible corners

JACS - You know a lot more about cameras than I do. So, I'ld appreciate it if you would answer a few questions for me:

1. Is there a significantly better 35mm AF FF lens at this size and price point?

2. If not, what 35mm AF FF lens is the first moving up in size and price point that you would consider to have good bokeh, no PF and no significant compromises that would make it undesirable for other reasons?

3. How much trouble is it to get rid of the PF you note in PP?

Thanks.

Joe
