I had it for two weeks and returned it. My Benchmark is Nikons 14-30 S.

Even after applying the new lens profiles in LR, the Canon 14-35 shows heavy distortion and absolutely terrible CAs. Sharpness is ok, not more. AF and Build quality is good.

I wanted to like it, but this is completely overpriced. The Nikon is better all around at 60% of the price.

Another RF lens letdown after the pretty unremarkable/soft 24-105 L and ridiculously poor STM AF on the 85mm f/2.

My 24-105 is dead-on sharp at anything under F11; if yours is as soft as you suggest, you might want to send it back.

Mine too.

All my RF lenses are good and the R5 plus RF lenses are definitely making it easier for me to get ‘keepers’.

I had the EF versions as well and prefer the RF albeit that has more to do with more compact sizes. Still, the quality of all is stellar for their respective price points, I’ve yet to receive an RF lens I wasn’t happy with and I have had some dud EF lenses in the past.

I’m just a casual hobbyist photographer too, so would expect a serious photographer to be even happier with these lenses.
