Re: RF 16 mm f/2.8 or 35 mm f/1.8 for EOS RP user ?

I would say … Definitely buy the 16mm. It will challenge you and delight you. Learn how to compose for ultra wide angle, and how to control perspective. Great for city photography, expansive interiors, and some landscape. The astrophotographers here will say it’s not good enough at the edges. But don’t worry - you can take great Milky Way shots. Not so good for portraits (but can be interesting, say for a person in their workplace) - but you already have that covered with your other lenses. No other system has a similar lens to the 16mm at such an affordable price. If you shoot raw, make sure you use a profile or Canons own DPP software. Have fun!
