2 cents, what their worth...

50mm is more useful than 85

And the RF 50 1.2L is one of the best primes ever made, much like the 28-70 f/2 is one of the best zooms ever made.

I’m beginning to think Canons initial RF lens lineup was very intentional. Think about the most commonly used RF glass, or talked about... RF 24-105, RF 50 1.2, RF 28-70 f/2, RF 35 f/1.8. Canon both filled a void, made a statement/splash and made the market segmentation, in one shot. No pun intended, get it, Canon, shot? Ta-du, dis.

I still think the M and R play with each other, not against. But options like the fast zooms (f/4 or faster) and super fast primes (1.2 on FF) is all FF turf, IMO.

But fast primes (2.0/1.4 on crop)? M can, if you ask me...
