Distortion Corrected and Uncorrected for Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM II

Includes corrected and uncorrected images.

IMO, Sony excessively prioritized size and weight at the expense of cost of making it a semi-professional lens. I’ll stick with prime lenses, which can easily outperform it in all respects. Along with its field curvature and focus shift, it doesn’t begin to be acceptable as a landscape lens.
