The digital picture have finished the review of the RF 50mm 1.8. Wasn't the larger mount diameter supposed to bring, among other things, less vignette to the image? Perhaps I'm wrong.

R5, 50mm f1.8 at f11  hand held.

That review is thorough as  usual from Bryan Carnarthan. However I think he ends up underselling the lens a bit, I wonder if he got a slightly-not-quite-up-to spec copy ?

His copy did not show sharp corners until f11. Mine is sharp in the corners from f4-f5.6. He also describes the lens as being suitable for "beginners and kids..." My experience is that it can deliver very high levels of image detail  on the R5 and is entirely suitable for enthusiast and/or professional use.
