Hi all,

I bought R5 and RF 24-105 f/4. All is great. The R5 is amazing.

Just one thing bothers me, when I shoot at 105mm f/4, there is some softness, even in the center.

My question here is to those who also own R5 and RF 24-105 f/4. Do you see such softness too?

Thank you.

105 f/4 full photo

100% crop 105mm f/4. notice the softness. Is it ok? do you have it too?

100% crop 105mm f/6.3 perfect sharpness

Please tell me if you have same effect/quality?

Thank you.

You shot these at 1/40? Was you tripod mounted? Where is the focus point?

At 1/40th of sec can allow shutter shock even on a tripod. Could be a DOF issue too, I'm looking at the background. Hard to tell but the background looks sharp?

I have that lens and my copy is very sharp. I scratch my head when I hear folks complain about the sharpness. When doing portraits I can count the eyelashes, that's all the sharpness I need.
