Haven’t heard when Canon is sending my R6 kit to the store but I picked up the first lens for my RF kit today there.

Make sure you get the hood for that lens. I'd ditch the filter, but that's just me.

Totally agree. Hood without filter is optimal for most situations IMHO.

Is Canon the only lens company which don't provide hoods for their cheap lenses? It's a shame.

No. Nikon is now doing that with the cheaper lenses. Heck, the Nikon Z 28mm & 40mm don't come with a hood and both have plastic mounts.
