RF 14-35mm f/4L IS USM

[neuroanatomist]

Post your images from Canon's RF 14-35/4. Expensive compared to the EF 16-35/4L IS, but delivers an extra 2mm on the wide end (a little more according to my testing) and remains relatively small and light, and retains the 77mm filter size common to other RF zooms like the 24-105/4, both 70-200's, and the 100-500. This lens is a core part of my travel kit

Starting off with a few of mine.

"Out of Place" (taken while snowmobiling near Telluride, Colorado)

EOS R3, RF 14-35mm f/4L IS USM @ 14mm, 1/320 s, f/11, ISO 100

"Niagara Fireworks" (seen from Prospect Point on the US side of the falls)

EOS R3, RF 14-35mm f/4L IS USM @ 35mm, 10.5 s, f/11, ISO 200

"Falls from Skylon" (full view of Niagara Falls from the top of the Skylon Tower)

EOS R3, RF 14-35mm f/4L IS USM @ 14mm, 2 s, f/8, ISO 1600 (10-stop ND, braced on railing)

"Bonsai Rock at Lake Tahoe"

EOS R, RF 14-35mm f/4L IS USM @ 14mm, f/22, 0.8 sec, ISO 50.

"Cool Cloud Formation"

EOS R6, RF 14-35mm f/4L IS USM @ 14mm, f/4, 1/160 sec, ISO 400

"Where All Roads Lead" – Remains of the Miliarium Aureum in the Roman Forum, a mile-marker at the center of the Roman system of roads.

EOS R8, RF 14-35mm f/4L IS USM @ 14mm, 1/60 s, f/8, ISO 160

The RF 14-35/4L was my most-used lens on the trip to Italy, accounting for 45% of my shots. Here are two from Venice...

"Rialto Bridge from Gondola" – Iconic crossing of the Grand Canal, taken during a Gondola ride.

EOS R8, RF 14-35mm f/4L IS USM @ 35mm, 1/250 s, f/8, ISO 100

"Santa Maria Formosa" – Venetian church, its name is rather incongruous since it refers to the 'Buxom Virgin Mary'. This is the bell tower that was 'destroyed' in Spider Man: Far From Home.

EOS R8, RF 14-35mm f/4L IS USM @ 14mm, 1/200 s, f/11, ISO 100

 

[neuroanatomist]

One from Sicily...

"Grotta dei Cordari" – Ancient excavations in a limestone quarry in Siracusa.

EOS R8, RF 14-35mm f/4L IS USM @ 35mm, 1/60 s, f/6.3, ISO 3200

 

[neuroanatomist]

...and two from Rome.

"Roman Colosseum"

EOS R8, RF 14-35mm f/4L IS USM @ 29mm, 1/400 s, f/8, ISO 100

"St. Peter's Dome" – Crepuscular rays shining through the Dome of St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican.

EOS R8, RF 14-35mm f/4L IS USM @ 14mm, 1/60 s, f/5.6, ISO 2000

Expensive compared to the EF 16-35/4L IS, but delivers an extra 2mm on the wide end (a little more according to my testing)

While postprocessing with LR, I noticed the picture can be moved without decreasing the original resolution.
The first is as imported in LR, the second x-> +6.4, y -> +3.2 , the third x-> -6.4, y-> -3.2
The last is y-> +7.6



Of cause with lens correction switched on.

 

[Nemorino]

Night shot @ 14mm, f/16, 120s (bulb with timer)
original 8192px of the R5


The same image but a pano of one with -6.4 and one with +6.4 x-movement (*), stiched with LR.
8953px


(*) I don't know how it is called in the English version of LR. In German it is "x-Verschiebung"

Cool shots! Sunstars are very nice on this lens.

 

[Nemorino]

Thank You!

shots

In fact it is just one.

 

[EricN]

Thank You!

In fact it is just one.

I'm a little confused; it's the same photo, but cropped slightly different?

 

[neuroanatomist]

I'm a little confused;

Me, too. The interpretation I make is a shift-pano with a TS-E lens.

 

[Nemorino]

No, it is a pano of the digitally corrected picture. After the correction the picture is larger then 8192×5464 the R5 gives me but LR gives just the original count.
Look at the swan pictures! It is possible to move the picture without loss of pixels.
I exported the night picture twice. One moved to the left, the other to the right. Both as a tiff. Stitching both in LR gives me a wider FoV and more pixels as the second night shot shows.

 

[neuroanatomist]

I see. Yes, I noted in my discussion of distortion correction for the 14-35/4 that the corrected images are stretched more along the wide axis than the long axis, and most RAW converters crop it to the 3:2 aspect ratio. DxO PhotoLab gives a checkbox option for 'force to native aspect ratio' that can be unchecked, and with my EOS R that gave 14mm images that were an extra 305 pixels (4.5%) wider than the native output, no need to stitch separate outputs.

 

[Nemorino]

I got about 800 extra pixels. Which are abround 10% plus but with vignetting in the extrem corners. The "pano" is slightly turned to level the horizont and I lost some pixels. But still 8953px.

Just posted in the mushroom thread:

Mushrooms And Fungi Of Any Kind

The jelly is causing a bit of discussion on my local Fungi Facebook page. My latest guess was Tremella Mesenterica, which a couple people agreed with. The latest suggestion was "Possibly yellow form of Tremella fuciformis. You can see its companion with Xylariales sp". Because I've only ever...

First f/22, second f/4, both @14mm

 

[Nemorino]

Another one-picture-pano extended to 8915px by the method I mentioned in my previous post.
R5 @ f/7.1, Iso 100, 1/640s

I like the low level POV.

 

[Nemorino]

R5 and extended like discribed above @14mm

 

[Nemorino]

For this picture I used the larger image circle to recompose the picture while keeping the original resolution of 8192x5464.
Interesting obsevation: this is a close focus distance and the optimized image is larger and suffers less from vingetting

Moved 7.0 to the left, 3.7 up
And the original composing
