My RF 16mm gets used a lot
2

Whenever I leave with just a 24-xxx zoom on my camera, I instantly see something that makes me wish I had my 16mm lens with me. I use it quite a bit.  I also have a 17-40 f4.0L and use it too, but the 16 is so small and unobtrusive that I use it more.  IQ is fine.  Sure it needs to be "corrected" in software, but so what?  I use it for environmental photos of streetscapes here in Louisville, landscapes, whatever I happen to see when I have it with me.    It saved me a lot of money, too, since now I have no desire to buy the RF 14-35 f4.0L.  When I go out, I usually have the 16mm 2.8 on one RP and a RF 24-xxx zoom on the other.  Here are three streetscape shots I took with it over the last few months.
