Re: Talk me into or out of the RF 50/1.8

Your 24-105 covers the 50mm range, but is heavier and f4 instead of f1.8. Do you plan to carry both the 24-105 and 50, then you aren't taking advantage of the small size/weight of the 50mm. If you plan to leave the 24-105 at home, then you will have a far more compact set-up.  Me, I tend not to want to duplicate focal lengths unless I can identify one or two specific reasons to do so. I have little need for f1.8, so the 50mm never interested me. But lots of people like 50mm and like f1.8, so there is certainly a market for this lens. For you, the OP, if you can afford it, it would probably be a nice toy to play around with.
