I guess if size a huge deal then it's an upgrade. But I'd rather have the adapter + 50 STM for the same money as I have other EF glass. Just such a disappointment. I think Canon could have really upgraded the optics while maintaining the small size everyone is going insane over. Oh well. Waiting for Samyang.

Well, at least the newer one gets sharp across the frame at some point. So compactness is a reason to get the RF 50mm f/1.8.

At the same time a lot of zooms do a very good job at 50mm, so compactness is the only reason to get it.

I love 50mm (equivalence)
