Canon RF 35mm f1.4 L VCM Lens vs RF 35mm f1.8 Macro IS STM & RF 24-105mm f2.8 L IS USM Z Lenses

Thank you for this test. The focus comparison was exactly what I needed.

Great! Glad it helped.

This is a very important test with 35 1.4 on R5c raw. The 35 1.4 is known for severe distortion. As it is raw video (without in camera distortion correction), I wonder how you manage to obtain straight wall edges. Thanks.

I processed in FCP - the in-camera distortion correction carries through. So, there is no need to do further corrections. In Resolve you have the option of using the in-camera corrections "Decode Quality > Full res - Canon" or not "Decode Quality > Full res - Resolve".

there is a change between 35 and 24-105 .. i can see 24-105 video cover more wider area than 35mm? at the same focul lenght? .. why?

I wouldn't jump to conclusions on that. The cameras were at least 18" apart so the angle of view is slightly different. Additionally, when the screen of the camera with the zoom says that you are at 35mm focal length there is actually a range within the zoom when it reports as "35mm". In other words, a more accurate test of focal would be using the cameras in succession from the same point. It gets complicated though because the zoom is a much longer lens and ideally should be measured from the front element and not the film plane. I did my best to set up my test that way. The 35mm f/1.4 vs 35mm f/1.8 test shows the field of view between those lenses to be the same, if not extremely close. Given that those lenses are much closer in size I would take that as a better indication of field of view.
