Good for ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY and VLOGGING?? Canon RF 16mm f/2.8 STM in-depth review | RAWs to download

In-depth review of the new Canon RF 16mm f/2.8 STM ultra wide prime lens for Canon EOS R series cameras. I talk about use cases, image quality, distortions, aberrations, autofocus speed and noise (or rather complete lack thereof!). I compare the corner quality of stars for astrophotography at different apertures and you can also inspect the images that I took for yourself by downloading RAWs and/or JPEGs that I took (see below)
