I am super excited to share with you some of my test photos with the Canon EOS R 30MP Mirrorless. I did absolutely no editing to these photos. I shot in RAW, imported them into Lightroom and then exported without applying any kind of editing.

So as you can see in the first image testing the Canon RF 28-70 mm F/2 Lens vignetting and distortion, there is some distortion as well as vignetting at the corners. It isn’t too bad and is somewhat better than I expected. Overall, I would consider it very, very, good. For the record, I have never seen a great result, especially when testing a zoom lens.

As far as sharpness, I would say it scored a very high score and the Canon RF 28-70 mm F/2 Lens is very sharp at the center as well as at the corners.

Now let’s look at how well the Canon RF 28-70 mm Lens does at @ 50mm and 70mm

The Canon RF 28-70 mm F/2 Lens vignetting and distortion at 50mm is excellent. There is some distortion as well as vignetting at the corners however, it is minimal. Overall, I would consider it excellent.

As far as sharpness, I would say it is excellent! The Canon RF 28-70 mm  is very sharp at the center as well as at the corners.
