I really doubt that the RF version of the lens has better sharpness than the EF version. If it did and if our lenses are soft, the excessive sharpening in my opinion, would not be needed. That is why I always ask to see what it looks like if a SOOC jpeg was posted at full size.That could be a basis for comparison.

How can you assess the initial sharpness of the Rf version, using the finished image as comparison and compare it with the EF lens.We have no idea of any of the processing steps that occurred

If I recall correctly, Alastair shoots jpeg.  These appear to me to be resized and/or cropped jpegs.  They are not excessively cropped in post.  I spent years working pre-press for a catalog company, doing product photography, scanning, retouching and color correction.  If there was excessive sharpening, I would see artifacts and halos which I don't see in any of these images.  What I see is detail.
