OK (but borderline hateful) kit lens

Design parameter, not a flaw
12

The design of this lens — and of the RF 16/2.8 and the RF 24-240/4-6.3 lenses — was based on a combination of optical and digital correction. The results are affordable lenses that would be much heavier and more expensive if the corrections were attempted in the optical domain only.

I think it's a strange base for a review to disregard half the virtues of the object one is reviewing.
