Not good

I like mine a lot

My experience is essentially opposite. I am loving every aspect of the RF14-35/4LIS and find it better in every perceptible way (sharpness, color, saturation, flare resistance, distortion, aberration, etc.) than my Z14-30/4S (which I've had for 2.5 years). Obviously the Z is smaller, lighter and cheaper but I tend to err toward higher IQ if I can get it within a practical form factor.

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.
