just got my r5 for an iceland trip next month and im so hyped! ive been looking at the rf 15-35mm vs the 14-35mm f4. people say the f4 has bad distortion but the 15-35 is just so heavy for long hikes and i only have about $2000 to spend. what lens would you actually recommend for huge landscapes?
Honestly, just grab the Canon RF 14-35mm f/4 L IS USM. People freak out about the software correction, but it works perfectly in Lightroom! I love it because its way lighter for hiking than the Canon RF 15-35mm f/2.8 L IS USM. Iceland is windy and steep, so every gram counts. Plus, that extra 1mm on the wide end is amazing for those massive vistas. It is such a solid choice!
Honestly, i was super let down by the Canon RF 14-35mm f/4L IS USM because that distortion is actually pretty annoying for the price. If youre hiking iceland, the Canon RF 15-35mm F2.8 L IS USM feels like a brick in your bag...
- try the Canon RF 15-30mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM
- use the leftover cash for a solid tripod Saves you money and your back wont hurt as much lol.
