I had the EF 50/1.2L but finally let it go when I move to Sony. I am now also shooting an EOS R and would love a 50mm that is a little more reasonable in cost. I did get the F 35/1.8 IS but while it is fairly priced for what they offer I would really like to see the a 50mm that is of better quality and would be willing to pay more for it. The noise and behavior of the STM focus system I have seen on the RF 35 make me want a better quality implementation like I have seen in some of the Sony lenses. An example of that is a $1400 GM 24/1.4. I've got to believe Canon could make a very good 50mm for less than that. Sure its would not be a f/1.2 but I don't need that but don't want to by a 50 built like the 35/1.8.

I want a 50 like RF35 with IS, light weight, small.

Of course this just my opinion and only applies to me.
