You know that Nikon makes a 40mm f/2, right? Its list price is within 50 Euros of the RF 50mm f/1.8 and it weighs a whopping 10g more. That extra 50 euros buys you silent autofocus (I've played with the RF 50mm f/1.8 at our local store, it audibly chatters), weather sealing and nicer (imho of course) bokeh.

I'm glad you like the lens, but some of us want Canon to do better. I feel the same way about Canon's entry-level bodies. The RP, in a vacuum, is a fine camera, but the Z5, which was selling for nearly the same price, is just so much better it's ridiculous. It feels like outside of Canon's top tier bodies and lenses that they are regressing.
