Canon RF 14mm f/1.4 L: Built for Astro, Breaks for Everything Else

Three grand buys you a lens that YouTubers love for astro reels and working photographers will quietly resent on every other job. The Phoblographer's verdict on the Canon RF 14mm f/1.4 L cuts through the hype: if you're shooting architecture, events, or anything that requires actual manual control, Canon's interface gets in the way fast. The real story isn't the optical performance, it's that this lens was designed for a use case most buyers can't monetise. Before you add it to your kit list based on the usual influencer coverage, read someone who tried to use it professionally and got burned.
