Hello ! I have a question that I just do not see addressed let alone answered in this and the other reviews of the new lens and it is one question that very much concerns those who already own and use the 11-24 mm lens and possibly those who are considering getting a new or used 10 or 11 to 20 or 24 mm lens. That question is this: Is there, beside all the in lens software corrections being made, any discernable resolving (resolution) or flare difference between the older 10-24mm with all it's heavy glass and the new 10-20 with all of it's clever corrections ? For me personally, I have already invested in a used 11-24mm f4 lens and I don't care about the weight and encumbrance of it as long as the image quality and in particular the ability to be as sharp as possibe resolutionwise, straight out of the lens is* at least* on par/identical to that out of the new 10-20 lens. Or could it be that the resolution and the amount of flaring is even lower with the older and much more glass containing lens or not ? I just don't see that question answered anywhere. People can be happy and satisfied with the 11-24 but may still be tempted to change to the new 10-20 if that would mean a dicernable improvement is resolving power. But if that is not really there or is negligibe, then we can continue to be happy with our heavy big boy the 11-24. If you get my drift ? ;-)

I have been hammerIng my RF10-20mm @ 10mm 99% of the shots, for 6 month now. I can shoot perspectives my colleagues cannot. Absolutely sharp as a tack @ 10mm and corrected in DPP, but, I do not correct the minimal distortion. This gives me 9mm. This lens is not beaten atm.

Hey, thanks for all the great content on your channel! How do you trigger that remote camera, can you make a video about it? Thanks and greetings from Germany

[@byuphoto]

We are almost done with our remote camera video that we have been working on. keep an eye out for it in the next month or so.

[@FlorianTrettenbach]

@@byuphoto Awesome!

[@GadgetGeeks]

Stabilization?

[@byuphoto]

From canon: Optical image stabilization up to 5.0 stops of shake correction and up to 6.0 stops Coordinated IS when paired with EOS R series cameras featuring In-Body Image Stabilizer (IBIS)

[@martinzhang5533]

Without the correction the corners does not seem like vignetting, but rather just out of the image circle. I do feel like the default correction is doing a bit too much though, wish there would be an easier in between option

[@mbismbismb]

Lets be honest here every lens in the market especially wide angle lens has correction done inside the system

[@EricRoseBahamas]

Cool. I wonder how the old Sigma 8-16mm rectilinear lens would fare. Waving from The Bahamas 🇧🇸

[@popcornparam]

That's for apsc ... This is for full frame

[@DJCENTIF1]

What result do you see using full transform option?

[@byuphoto]

not sure I understand what you mean by full transform option. Are you talking about in post or in camera?

[@hebronumcindiana3017]

In Lightroom they have a Transform tab to change perspective of photos. Most of the time it works well straightening photos. Love the sharing you do with all of us.

[@byuphoto]

@@hebronumcindiana3017 Sorry I am not a Lightroom user! I assume it is just like fixing the distortion in your image manually in the same area you use the lens profile correction? Anytime you can use the manufacturers profile correction I feel would be best over manually trying to do it. I also use the sliders under the geometry tab to straighten lines and perspective, but it does not take away the curve of the lines.
