I'm more curious why you think it's impossible for Canon do to both lenses.

I don't doubt Canon could do both lenses, but where are the rumors or Canon roadmap for compact RF zooms similar to the Nikon lenses? To me, these make more sense than Canon proving they can make lenses that haven't been made before.

I'm a long time Canon user that has been pondering an update to my venerable 5D2.

I'm looking at the very good offerings from Sony, Nikon, Fuji and the EOS R. I have a limited budget that the EOS falls nicely within, but I would also like a native lens selection that leverages the benefits of the new mirrorless design by being compact and affordable rather than 'awesome' but big and expensive too.

I am trying to gauge a bit of feedback and there seems to a bit of support for more 'real world use' lenses. They might come, but instead I am seeing patents and rumors of a 'mega lens'.

Personally, I think the 14-21/1.4 zoom is bordering on ridiculous when a prime would would be more practical. I expect the 15-35/2.8 to be a fantastic lens, but reasonably pricey because of it's 'pro' designation. I want an 'RF 16-35/4' for about $1000  and similar offerings. I don't think I am alone on that.
