RF-s would be the third time around for Canon APS-C lenses though. We had 24 EF-s lenses (of which 9 were 18-55mm) over 13 years (3 at launch, 7 in the first year, but that includes the first four 18-55mm lenses). We had 8 different EF-M lenses over 6 years (2 at launch, 3 in the first year). We now have two RF-s lenses; one that looks suspiciously like a slightly revised EF-M lens, the other is an 18-45mm with a lower specification than any EF-s or EF-M zoom. I'm not expecting a rich and interesting range of RF-s lenses, I think Canon will continue their trend.

Sums it up nicely.

it depends on what lenses they give it

if that rumored FF 24 f1.8 IS is great

We'll see. At least it's f/1.8. On a full frame sensor the angle of view is large DOF territory in my book, but on crop it's better to have f/2.8 equivalent.

yes, we shall see how it measures up on FF and crop against the alternative lenses

and that FF RF15-30 IS is great - then it will be hard to deny

I'm used to shoot with a max 35mm crop zoom. This one is max 30mm, and is f/5.6 only. Not useless, and 15mm is nice, but it's less than ideal as a standard zoom on crop. You can't do portraits like you can do on full frame with 105mm f/4.0 of 70mm f/2.8 or, with the 18-35mm Art with 56mm f/2.8 equivalent.

agree, but I will look at it in terms of landscapes

I prefer they release FF RF lenses to use on RP and R7

History repeating.

I hear ya

Ideally a lens is designed for one sensor size. Otherwise you're either carrying a lot of weight for nothing on the small sensor or you have mediocre and dark borders on the large sensor.

if that is the case, then M which is being left out to dry
