It's perhaps my favorite wide angle lens. Version II is supposed to have better flare control, but that's the only difference between the two. 7D, 5DII

It doesn't have AF problems, not even non-serious ones. yeah, I just got mine an hour ago and I love it so far, I'm gonna test it with some mountain bikers later and that'll be the real test for me for how well it keeps focus Canon EOS R5, RF 15-35 f/2.8, RF 70-200 f/2.8, RF 50mm f/1.2
