Opted out of the race to zero long ago

I can’t think of any right off the bat, so they must not be the ones I use. Which ones are you thinking of?

The RF 50 and 85 f/1.2L primes are quite bigger and heavier than the EF equivalents

But they are both also some of the best lenses ever created. It is amazing what they did with the 85L f/1.2. Its unrivaled, unless you add in the $3800 manual focus 85mm f/1.4 Otus.

They are! but the question was about RF lenses bigger / heavier than their EF equivalents, that's why I listed those 2. I have both RF ones and had both EF ones. The RF ones are much better than the EF ones apart from portability

I understand, my point was, I don't mind bigger if its sufficiently better. I tapped out of the incredible shrinking camera race long ago. As some manufacturers are in the odd race to zero, I can only remember how much I hated the feel of the small cameras I had. Give me the "Right Size", not the smallest. And again as far as lenses, if you can give me a tangible improvement, but have to add size, I'm ok with that. However, I will say the RF 85L is about limit of feasibility to me.
