According to one of the first reviews of the Canon RF24mm F1.8 Lens, the lens is exceptionally sharp and has very high resolving power.
Canon RF 24mm F1.8 Review
- The first feature is its size. Compact and lightweight with a size of 74.4 (maximum diameter) x 63.1 (length) mm and a weight of approximately 270g. All of the manufacturer’s genuine 24mm/F1.8 lenses are over 70mm in length and weigh more than 300-400g. should be understood.
- In terms of functionality, the main feature is that it supports half-macro shooting with a maximum shooting magnification of 0.5x. The shortest shooting distance is 0.14m, and it is possible to get close to the subject as close as 4.2cm from the front of the lens.
- What I felt was “more than I expected” was the high resolution. In all of the examples, longitudinal chromatic aberration before and after the focal point is relatively well suppressed, resulting in very sharp image quality. As expected, the outline of the bokeh may remain colored, but considering the size, it can be said that the lens has excellent resolution.
- When the camera’s peripheral illumination correction is turned on, the peripheral illumination falloff is greatly improved even when the aperture is open. However, when the blue sky enters the screen, there are times when the amount of light falloff is a concern even when using peripheral illumination correction.
- Since the lens is based on electronic correction, distortion is suppressed by correction on the camera side. It seems that it is designed to give a natural impression as a photograph by leaving a little aberration.
- It is not very strong against backlight, and ghosts and flares occur when there is a strong light source such as the sun on the screen.
- AF was a speedy operation. Since it uses a gear-type STM, there is a certain amount of drive noise and focus breathing), but I felt that the AF performance was sufficient for still image shooting.
- When the aperture is wide open, the effects of astigmatism can be seen. It is not completely suppressed at f/2.8 and is almost eliminated at f/4. In order to take high-quality astrophotography up to the periphery, it will be necessary to stop down a little.
- The “RF24mm F1.8 MACRO IS STM” is a wide-angle, single-focal lens packed with the goodness of the standard type. Despite its compact size and light weight of 63.1mm in length and weight of approximately 270g, it has high resolution, including when shooting macro, and you can enjoy the image quality of a single focal length lens with ease.
