Exceptional sharp, portable and affordable

On the Canon camera this is a great lens. It transforms a simple 100 d (or sl1) into a Leica like camera. My wife just returned from a holiday and she knows nothing about photography. 100 d on automatic +JPEG+  24 mm pancake and this is one of the results. Check for the  exceptional details.

Very sharp, nice detail, i am a big fan of those STm lens.

I think you are mistaken. This is in Malta not in California?

Very good keep posting your wonderful images.

I am sorry but I don't see this your way. I find the picture exceptionally sharp and full of detail. In fact far sharper than your pictures from Chicago and also far better weather!;-)

Agreed, keep posting i for one like your photos, at least you post photos, unlike some that don't and like to criticise those that do.

Thank you, I am just an amateur shooting with simple gear and lenses but as stated before this 24mm pancake provides sharpness for the masses! Shot today in cloudy wheater:

Lovely clarity and detail, love the magnolia tree.

no worries, as long as you and Alan like it, nothing else matter

It does, have not been on here for 15 years without learning a thing about negativity & sarcasm, anyway please feel free to post your photos so we can all critique them.

Those are magnificent trees indeed and they florish great over here.

To be completely honest I find the colours in the magnolia tree great but the red in the roof tils a bit over the top. Sharpness however is indeed superb!

I really found it hard to find any CA but changed the colours to more neutral. Question for you : Is it any better now?

No, it was not visible on my monitor. I watched some videos on youtube and they showed some purple fringing as a symptom but I could not see it. To experiment I have turned on lens correction and reduced saturation and clarity. I had not turned on lens correction since I expected the Canon camera to do that automatically for the canon lenses. Is it gone now?

Genuine question - do you suffer at all from colour blindness, or some other vision defect? The first version shows very heavy CA, so if you can't see it there is something wrong somewhere. The easiest place to see it is in the black and white signs at the bottom of the frame.

(My bold) - I know you turned on lens correction, because the difference is clear, but you hadn't mentioned that rather crucial fact. Look again at the difference...

How can lens correction be used if the shot was taken in JPEG? When I shoot in RAW and use digital lens optimizer in DPP, the CA tool is deactivated. I take that to mean the correction is being made there rather than in the camera.

While I am unaware of any vision defect, I sometimes have a tough time spotting CA and other issues. So it's always helpful to have them pointed out. I find a marked-up image is usually the best way.
