Thank you for the comparison, looks good, the main thing is that at least this lens doesn't suffer from purple shift towards the edges (or maybe it also has to do with the EOS R's different sensor? hard to tell)

Purple shift was seen on the first Sony A7X cameras but not the latest - and likely not on Canon R and Nikon Z cameras neither. What can still be seen is corner smear with some - but not all - rangefinder WA lenses. It is also seen with some of the newer 35 and 50mm Leica M lenses but not with the older non asph 35 and 50mm lenses (type IV and earlier). Please note that corner softness wide open with non asph lenses is not necessarily corner smear due to the sensor stack but an inherent characteristic of non asph lenses.
