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.

Majority are quite positive, but of course vignetting and distortion are mentioned always - and the non existent lens profiles in Capture one and others. 
i took the risk an bought the lens today - knowing There will be some issues. 
I am trying to build a portable system with this lens , 24-105 ( very good review in a trusted site)  and very good RF70-200f4L which is jus stellar IMO  ( i have the lens)

W ill reportĀ
