Your copy was bad-Give the RF 35mm f1.8 another chance...

I think there are definitely good and bad copies. I had a RF 35mm f1.8 IS which received great reviews, yet my copy was soft and had poor contrast so I ended up selling it. I have the RF 24-105mm and fortunately it's a good copy and has proven to be an excellent lens for me. I also owned the previous EF version and have found a noticeable improvement in image quality and sharpness with the RF. I can definitely understand your reluctance to buy another one though, as I wouldn't be willing to buy another 35mm RF either.

You must've gotten a bad copy...mine is razor-sharp at f1.8 and wide open it provides good contrast, punchy Canon colors too:
