Following @Trevors lead. 😊
Camera: R5 C

I've owned this lens for 6 yrs.
I think this demonstrates the difference in IQ between L and non L glass.

Magnificent photos! You show both the modern and old architecture of Europe.
Story: My friend is a British ex-pat. His family lives in a house built in the 1600s. Met a family who went to a church in Germany; church was built in the 1600s.

Who says you need wide angle to do architectural work - particularly effective for castles! I really like the EF 70-300 IS USM MkII. I was torn very much between keeping that or the L version when I began my downsizing, and in the end the L won out. The optics and build are great and the focus is blazing fast. It also worked really well with the R5 and R6 when I tried it on them.
That said, the gear goes so far, the rest is down to the photographer, and your skill is apparent in these images!

Thank you both. I purchased this lens on its release and used it with a T6s. It was well received by the industry and except for being a little soft at edges when wide open it does a very well. You have to peep pretty hard to see it. Its compact, lightweight and great for travel. Its also very affordable. I choose to highlight it after @Trevors wonderful L Series showcase. The lens performed well, and allowed me to reach subjects some up to 500 yrds away. It has a lot of life left, but has been replaced with a RF 100 ~ 400 and 100 ~ 500.

You are making me miss Germany! I was stationed in Mannheim from 1986 to 1988 during my Army service. Got to take a lot of photos using a Minolota X-370 film camera., especially in Heidelberg. The base had a good photo lab for me to do my processing with a German who taught me a lot about photography and processing. I plan on going back sometime in the future and will make sure my EF 70-300mm f4.0-5.6 USM II lens goes with me.
