I am not a lens test chart testing type of photographer. I test my new lenses in real world conditions with a lot of different settings. If I like the results I keep the lens. I bought my RF 15-35 last Spring. I have been very pleased with the images. Over President's Day I used the lens exclusively on my first day. My big regret is not using the lens more the next two days. The images with the lens are fantastic. The conditions were interesting with a lot of Snow, very blue skies, people and red rocks.
I have also used the lens several times for Astrophotography and I am very happy with the results. The main reason I bought the lens over the 14-35 was speed for astro work. I have also found the speed helpful for many other situations. I should mention I develop with DxO PL6.
I personally really like the lens on my R5. I also know that now all lenses are the same and sometimes you have sample variations.
Hi Kokopelli_Rocks - thanks for the reply! You method of testing is probably the more sane route, but the engineer in me can't help but scrutinize every optical detail.
I strongly agree that the sky "blue" coming off this lens is impressive and a bit unusual. The photos seem to have almost a polarized appearance.
Fully understand. My wife is an engineer.
I can't comment on your issue with the LR lens profile. I used LR since the first release until I bought my R5. I was not happy with the results developing my R5 RAWs with LR. I decided to test several other RAW development products. I decided on DxO. I am not using DxO PL6 and I am very happy with the results.
