Heard back from Canon this morning via email. They said they want me to send the lens in for examination. I phoned them and spoke with another representative. I informed them I will not be sending ...

Still no word from Canon. Will call them on Monday to inquire if they’ve determined anything.

I contacted Canon yesterday and sent them files from three different R cameras. They said they will investigate...so we'll see where it goes. I also contacted a friend who has the R and the Sigma ...

We'll see! I've had experiences before where Canon has been exceptional at helping diagnose and fix problems, and experiences where they've been absolutely atrocious and almost combative. Hopefully ...

Sure, I am happy to. What steps do I have to take to submit it? I'm happy for you to just take one of the RAW files I included in the Dropbox link and use it -- either file is fine with me. Or do ...

I went to The Camera Store this afternoon and played with their demo R and their demo RF 85mm. I put their lens on my body and my lens on their body. Both cameras did EXACTLY the same thing -- same ...

Thank you for taking the time and for your very detailed reply. I will give your suggestion a try. In regard to what you said: "What I know this pattern should be visible with all lenses and not ...

Correct. These are the uncompressed .CR3 RAW files. I can choose either CR3 or C-CR3 (the compressed RAW format). As far as I can see, there is no other option to choose compression.

Thanks for your continued help. I really appreciate everyone's help with this. To answer you question: I'm not using RawTherapee. The Raw Converters I have available are: - Preview in macOS Catalina ...

Interesting. Reading more about this, it looks as if this problem I'm experiencing is similar to what's described in that article. It doesn't say whether fast lenses cause that problem or whether ...

I don't have any other super fast glass in the f/1.2-1.8 range, unfortunately. My other lenses are f/2.8's. I just tried the bokeh Christmas Tree test the using the EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro lens and ...

Hi, Thanks again for responding. I don't think there's a way of going back to .CR2 on the R system. .CR3 is the new norm. There is a C-CR3, which I am not using. Other than that, however, there ...

It turns out that DPReview's own samples from the lens show the problem in the highlights too. Check this out from image 315A0001.CR3 in DPReview's lens sample gallery:

UPDATE: The Camera Store finally got a replacement camera in for me. Unfortunately, the new camera is doing exactly the something. I'm getting the same strange lines/patterns shooting wide opening ...

Crazy. That really shows the problem while you go back and forth between the two image files and the layers. So what would you say is causing the artifacting? All the RAW converters I have, except ...

No worries. :)

I have officially tried loading images into DPP, Photoshop 2020, Lightroom Classic CC, Luminar 4, and Mac OS 10.15's Finder -- all of the programs showcase the problem with the exception of ...

Are you speaking about the cropped screen grabs I posted initially in the thread? I was simply posting those for illustrative purposes -- to showcase the problem. You can click on my Dropbox link ...

Maybe...but I think it might actually be a sensor issue. I've open files up now with DPP, Photoshop 2020, Lightroom Classic CC, and Luminar, as well as the Finder in OS 10.15 Catalina. The only ...
