At this time, the RF 14-35 is largely unusable when shooting RAW and using either Lightroom, Adobe Camera RAW, or Capture One. I'm eager to get this lens profile from Canon ASAP, but as it stands right now, this lens may not usable if you shoot RAW and use the aforementioned software to edit your photos. As someone that is continually working with this gear daily, I just shot test shots with the lens around our lakes in preparation for a large commercial real estate job on Thursday. I knew about the distortion of the lens, but didn't realize Canon and Adobe had not released the lens profiles yet...so once imported into Lightroom, you're met with nearly fisheye distortion and black corners.
I have taken test chart images and have concluded that the RF 24-105 f/4-7.1 is the closest profile for wide angle shots.
In the interim, the profile for the RF 24-105 f/4-7.1...but it's not 100% perfect as it only works for 14-18mm range - especially not suggested for critical architectural work. Keep in-camera lens optimization for chromatic aberration ON, as this looks to be baking itself into the RAW file and is VERY good...the lens is easily corrected for CA.
That said, this lens looks incredible in DPP where correction is fully supported. I'm not afraid of digital correction, but if you are...this is obviously not the lens for you.
ALSO: This does not impact video when you manually enable profile correction. So, for now, I will only be able to use this lens for video work. Hopefully we see the lens supported within the next 30 days.
