Excellent Lens, Especially for The Price
Let me get this out of the way first. I had to place an order twice because the first lens I received kept coming up with an "Error Code 01" which meant there was a faulty connection between the lens and my Canon EOS-R body. I knew it was not the body because my only other RF lens (the 24-105mm f/4L) worked perfectly fine with it. I did some trouble shooting and still could not get the lens to work. So, I set up a return through Amazon and placed another order immediately for the same lens. The second one arrived the next day and has worked without any issues.The lens build is what I expected for their inexpensive line. The body is mostly plastic, lightweight and comes with a lens cover. On a side note, I recommend getting a lens hood as it is not included. It will not only help reduce lens flare, but will also protect the lens when inadvertantly hitting/bumping into things (which I tend to do more often than not). The RF lenses, especially their less-expensive lineup, produce excellent image quality. And I purchased this lens to help tie me over until I can eventually get the premium level Canon 15-35mm f/2.8L lens.I use this lens mainly for large group photos because I do a lot of event photography and sometimes I don't have enough room to take a wide enough shot using my 24-105mm lens. As with lenses this wide, there is a fair amount of barrel distortion that can be fixed in post-processing, if needed. Images are clear and sharp with excellent color quality. Maybe not quite the same image quality as the premium L-series lenses (when doing some extensive pixel-peeping) but at $279 plus tax, I am more than pleased with the results and so are my clients. This is a solid lens to add to your RF lens lineup. Especially, if you're starting out and have a limited budget and/or you're slowly changing your lenses over from the EF and/or EF-S models. Great quality images and a great price.

Fun, Flawed, but Surprisingly Handy
I picked this up as a lightweight alternative to Canon’s more expensive wide-angle lenses, and it’s been a fun addition to my gear. The RF 16mm f/2.8 STM is incredibly compact, lightweight, and surprisingly capable for the price. It’s sharp in the center, has a fast f/2.8 aperture, and the close focusing distance makes it more versatile than I expected.That said, this lens absolutely needs post-processing. Out of camera, you’ll see strong vignetting, noticeable barrel distortion, and chromatic aberration—especially along edges and in high-contrast areas. Fortunately, most of this can be corrected in Lightroom using the built-in lens profile, but if you don’t plan to edit your images, this probably isn’t the lens for you.A few other things to note: autofocus can be a little slow in low light, there’s no physical focus switch, and it’s not weather sealed. Also, the 43mm filter size is uncommon, and it doesn’t come with a hood.Despite the quirks, it’s a solid option for casual photographers, vloggers, or travel shooters who want an affordable ultra-wide—just know that a little extra effort in post is required to get the best results.

For the price it works fine and good value.
For the price it works fine and good value. Lot of distortion, but in-camera and post processing yield good images.

Lightweight, fast focus
If you're shooting video, you can't mount the mic on your hot shoe. Because this price point has noisy autofocus. That's all you need to know.These days, most of the imperfections are electronically corrected.Just for fun, you can turn off distortion correction on your raw files in Lightroom and see what a 16mm angle looked like in the old days.This wide angle is a great match with a lightweight EOS R8, for vlogger arms-length selfie. On a crop sensor, you'll want wider.But it's also wide enough to capture architecture, and dramatic angles.
