New RF 16mm has quite some vignetting at F2.8 - (with no Lightroom lens profile yet)

Re: New RF 16mm has quite some cropping as well

The autocorrection crops the image considerably.

I took a photo of a brick wall and have the jpg and the cr3, of which I corrected the latter manually. The FOV of the cr3 is about 10 degrees more than the .jpg.

I compared it with the Samyang 14 before I sold the latter and saw that the FOV is with manual correction the same as the Samyang 14,

But in both cases the IQ is very good for such a cheap lens and I like it even more than the Samyang 14 as the latter is heavy and bulky and its 'moustache distortion' is more difficult to correct, despite having a lens profile in Affinity and Photoshop. Both apps lack a lens profile of the RF 16, but correction is much easier.
