Canon RF 14-35mm f/4L IS USM Post your shots

Pilsen. Taken a year ago with a borrowed lens when I was thinking about whether to buy one. And then I just waited, several months, until a used one came along at a reasonable price .

I just purchased this lens, Used.. Rated at B&H as 9+
I'm looking forward to using it, as the photos here are brilliant!

Looking forward to seeing your results. It's a lens I like very much.

I’ve had poor results so far and I’m sure it’s me I’ll keep trying!

Today, another round of the Prorodeo Tour 2024 took place at the Halter Valley Arena near Pilsen, this time in pink - riders and visitors wore pink, with proceeds from the day going to support the fight against breast cancer.

I'm thinking of changing my EF 16-35 F4 for this RF 14-35, especially because of those 2 mm extra angle. In terms of sharpness and distortion, are both lenses similar?

I was considering this change myself, here is a pretty thorough review of the lens I read the other night. I think Dustin Abbott does a good job of pointing out both pros and cons in his reviews.

On the positive side, the 2 extra mm at the wide end is a big deal for sure. But I don't care for the mechanical vignetting, and the EF 16-35 F/4 is plenty sharp, even for 45MP, I would suspect. The biggest issue I have is the price. I picked up my EF 16-35mm for around $850 on the used market in as-new condition. I can't wrap my head around paying $1300 for an RF replacement. The EF lens is light and carrying an adapter seems like a small price to pay for a wide angle lens where the full range of advanced IBIS and other features that an RF lens would provide is less important. My thoughts, of course.

I agree, but when Abbott's review came out how the lens correction algorithms worked was not universally understood and I think that PP software lens corrections for RAW were not released. That is now long gone history.

The thing is that lenses such as the Rf 24-240 and RF 14-35 are examples of the use of computational photography, long-established in the cell phone market to allow lens makers to create optics that produce excellent images but by using these algorithms they can do so with much cheaper and simpler lens constructions. The way it works is that the lens actually projects an image of a focal length about 3mm wider than the advertised shortest value. The corrections use that 3mm to 'pixel wrangle' the image to make significant corrections, remove vignetting etc. and produce an clean, clear aligned image. The advantage is that while lenses would previously have been big, heavy, and expensive, the opposite is now more the case, and because the corrections are made mathematically, they can be modified for specific camera or sensor models. With lens corrections turned off there is no mechanical vignetting that I have ever experienced, and virtually no loss of light on the corners either. This is dedicated camera tech finally catching up with the cell phone a bit.

I like how so many old European streets give a line of sight towards a church tower. I wonder if that was planned to reinforce the power of religion. Every time you step into the street the church dominates and is watching over one...

I read an article a while back on urban design and how streets should be laid out, and a key element that was highlighted was that the street needs to visually leads to some strong anchor point, a building for example. You may be right about this general idea being adopted in a religious sense.
