For me, an additional attraction of an RF mount APS-C camera is I can adapt the very good, small, lightweight EF-S lenses I own to it.

Isn't ef-s glass getting a bit too outdated already to make an 32Mp aps-c sensor more interesting than a full frame sensor?

I can think of 2 crop lenses - the sigma 56mm f/1.4 and the Canon 32mm f/1.4 - , but those have the ef-m mount. There are other relatively compact lenses on crop, but those cover the full frame circle too.  The sigma f/1.8 zooms? These are crop lense, but not compact at all.

Would the ef-s 24mm f/2.8 stm be better on a 32Mp crop sensor than the RF 35mm f/1.8 is stm on a full frame sensor? I don't think so. Yes, the 24mm is a pancake, but with the adapter that advantage has gone.

I love 50mm (equivalence)
