That is the RF 16mm.

As with the excellent test results produced by @Sittatunga above, DxO PL4 is able to extract and correct the RF 16 lens to near 14mm !

If you don't need the (practically useless focal lengths of 24mm and above as they are already covered elsewhere) then you have a 14-16mm lens in the RF 16mm. If you have the R5 then even more flexible.

For me, 14 mm or 16 mm is too wide in many situations. Sure, one can crop, especially with a high-resolution camera such as the R5. But for people who often shot around 20mm, a 14/15-35 zoom lens makes sense. Especially as there are no 20mm primes available (other than the rather old EF 20mm which has strong field curvature and therefore can be challenging to use).
