Optical Limits posted its full Canon RF 24mm f/1.8 Macro IS STM review which you can read here or check out the excerpt below:
…It can be used for many applications from landscape-, architecture-, street- to some macro photography. Quality-wise, it’s not fully convincing for a prime lens. That’s most obvious at large aperture settings where the outer image field is (too) soft. This changes at medium apertures. While the dead center quality is superb, the borders and corners are “just” very decent without standing out. And prime lenses are supposed to stand out here. That’s also because the lens relies heavily on image auto-correction to compensate the comparatively massive barrel distortion and vignetting. Lateral and axial CAs are about average for a lens in this class. A very positive aspect is the quality of the bokeh. Wide-angle lenses tend to suffer in this respect whereas the Canon lens renders out-of-focus areas quite nicely. The build quality is good… no word on weather sealing. The AF speed is pretty good although you have to live with mild humming noise…Overall, the Canon RF 24mm f/1.8 IS STM macro represents good value.
