Wow, really no improvement from the mediocre EF version.

Not a lot.  It's kind of like a mark II of the 50mm STM.   The corners definitely are less hazy, but not a ton sharper.   The profiles are better and actually smart-sharpen the RF 50mm quite a bit, so real world results look quite a bit better on the RF.

For $199 I didn't expect a big upgrade.   That $75 let me get rid of the adapter and added a control ring.  That was worth it for me.

I haven't seen as big of a vignetting difference as TDP is showing, but maybe my camera is hiding it from me.
