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

580ex is massive on an RP. I’d go 430EX or smaller. ISO noise on the RP is good enough that using 800 barely looks different from 100, so you don’t need a monster flash. I like the EL-100 for RP personally.

The 580EX is very large on the RP, for sure.  That's one of the reasons I got the 430EX.  Smaller, and still quite powerful.  I have the EL-100 as well, and like it a lot.  The Godox TT350c is just as small, however, has a zoomable flash head and, best of all to me, can be either a master or slave in the Godox wireless flash system.  It is also about $70 cheaper.
