Why Canon refuses to release WR primes ? (VS L-mount)
4

Why Canon never makes affordable f/1.8 or f/1.4 weather sealed primes ? the 35 f/1.8 is a great lens but it lacks internal focusing and weather sealing. Weather sealing is mostly useful foe keeping dust out of the lens elements. And Canon did the same with the 85 f/2...

And as of today the smallest weather sealed RF lens is the 24-105 F/4 which is not small at all.

In contrast look at the panasonic L-mount: all internal focusing WR f/1.8 primes:

Panasonic has standardised primes, with I.F. and identical filter thread, one filter to match them all.
