The RF 16 mm F/2.8 STM lenses suited to Canon’s budget have argued whether you really need to spend more than $ 2,000 on professional glass. This question becomes even more pressure when you believe that it promises to give $ 300 lens photographers to do wide angle work.
Shane is coming to you from long photography, it reveals the revelation video Canon RF 16 mm F/2.8 STM Lenses Through rigorous test against premium Canon RF is 15-35 mm F/2.8 L USM lensFor a long time, wider side-side-side comparison checks everything from the center’s sharpness to the performance of the extreme corner, shooting the same scenes on various aperture. The results can surprise you, especially when you see how the budget lens performs in the center of the frame. What becomes clear immediately is that both lenses provide equal sharpness in the center, but differences are revealed as they move towards the edges and corners of the frame.
The test reveals some predicable agreement with cheap lenses, in which noticeable vignating and distortion is directly out of the camera.

Corner sharpness tells a more complex story, showing some softness and color changes in extreme corners with budget lenses, especially on broad aperture.

The benefits of size and weight become pronounced during the shooting or extended handheld sessions of the video, although not long using the flash notes some balance issues.
