Its in my opinion, a problem that is perceivable, especially if you look at some of the before and after images in this thread. We are talking about people that were amazed with the camera at first and then after either a firmware update, an adjustment by canon, after a year of use, a combination of some or all, have found that the camera is worse than it once was. I think there is something much different going on than image quality in the 'eye of the beholder'. I'm probably listening to Davide of MIMIC And we could speak of the morality of selling something that you think is not up to par when you might not be qualified to determine that.Ĭanon R5, Canon 90D, assorted Canon lenses, Sony RX100 There are a couple of morals at least in this story, and one of them is that IQ can be in the eyes of the beholder. Never heard back from the buyer, so he must be happy. It was just that there was some hype in the reviews.

So morally I couldn't sell it (and couldn't return it either because of time and travel).īut when I had more time, I did more checking, and concluded that there was nothing wrong with the lens.

That differed so much from assessments in the reviews, I decided it must be defective.

I bought a used Canon 15-85mm lens and after a few shots with it, determined it was soft at the edges and corners, and no sharper in the center than my kit 18-55 STM. I know there is such a thing as moral fiber, but of Canon can sell cameras like this, why can't we? Tongue firmly planted in cheek.
