Again, no surprises here. The results look great.

The Canon EOS R6 Mark II is here, and it is time to set up this camera for use. Following are the 44 steps taken to prepare an out-of-the-box R6 II.
I make additional menu and other setting changes based on current shooting scenarios, but this list covers my initial camera setup process.
To copy this configuration means you intend to shoot as I do – including in RAW-only format. While this setup works great for me, you should adjust the setup to your needs.
If you can't remember your menu setup parameters, keeping an up-to-date list such as this one is a great idea. Anytime the camera is set to the factory state, such as when serviced or when acquiring an additional camera, the list will ensure all settings are re-established. If you purchase another same or similar camera, setup will be fast and identical.

This is an interesting lens — compact, lightweight, affordable, and a good performer. Sometimes, the 20-40mm focal length range is ideal, avoiding frequent lens changes.

The black lines indicate contrast, and the blue lines show resolution. The solid lines are sagittal, and the dashed lines are meridional. The higher, the better, and that comparison tells a story.
The RF lens's performance is substantially improved.

This lens exceeds my image quality expectations.
While the RF 1200 is not as sharp as the Canon RF 600mm F4 L Lens, it is nicely sharper than the Canon RF 600mm F4 L Lens plus 2x extender.
The RF 1200mm lens's image quality is about the same as that of the RF 800mm F5.6 Lens.
Note that RF 1200mm lens plus extender results are not included in the tool. I'm still arguing with myself but have not yet justified spending over $1,000.00 to fund the smaller test chart needed for testing focal lengths over 1200mm.

I like what I see except the wide open 400mm results are a bit soft (f/8 produces better sharpness).
