Do Tokina lenses made for Canon EF have lens correction data that Canon R bodies can read ?
Answering myself this question after using this specific gear.
Tokina ATX-i 11-20mm f2.8 CF.
Yes, the Canon R10 can do Lens aberration correction with this Tokina lens.
Same with the Canon M6ii.
For Stills the camera menus says, "Correction Data Available"
Available for
- Peripheral Illumination
- Distortion Correction
- Chromatic Aberration
- Diffraction Correction
Basically all the corrections except Digital Lens Optimizer which is available exclusively for Canon branded lenses.
The only issue is that this Tokina lens name doesn't appear, it is empty.
However, when attaching the Sigma 100-400 lens, its name appears there.
I'm not sure if the R10 applies a generic correction for lenses it can not identify or the R10 does indeed can read the lens data despite not showing its name.
But the final proof is in the pictures.
For Video, only Peripheral Illumination and CA are available. Distortion Corr is only available for Canon RF lenses.
DLO for Video is not possible with any lens yet, even with the top of the line R3 or the latest R6ii, I suppose it needs lots of processing power.
Granted I'd only use these corrections with video since I shoot CRaw for stills.
Ideally, the camera should be able to read custom lens profiles which are more effective due to copy variation.
I have not tested all these corrections but here are some 1:1 tiny crops from the left lower corner, testing for CA at the worst CA situation, aperture wide open f2.8, lens at the wide end, 11mm.
- OOC JPEG Correction Off
- OOC JPEG Correction On
- Corrected JPEG with DxO PL6 from Raw.
