Reviews in English

OpticalLimits 6.3/10
From a technical standpoint, the RF 16mm f/2.8 STM offers poor quality on a high megapixel camera. The broader center is perfectly sharp but the quality is falling apart in the corners. [...] A 16mmm f/2.8 for this kind of money is an insane bargain even with the mentioned limitations.
