Not sure I would agree with the adapter being bulky and heavy. At 125g it weighs about the same as a mirror box and takes up less than the same room. An RP with the adapter is still very light, certainly less than any of the FF DSLRs from Canon

It’s a fair point. It’s not really heavy or that large, but at 125g that 50% of the weight of my old EF primes and for the pancake 28 or 40 it doubles their size. I am looking for extreme portability and the RP gives that. I am hoping that eventually Canon see there is a market for a 28 / 35 / 40 or even 22-45 pancake zoom at an affordable price.

It may be 50% of the weight of the pancake lenses, but take away the mirror box, prism, focus screen, af module etc and it probably still weighs less. I do agree tough, those pancake lenses would be great to have in RF. Hopefully next year canon really start padding out that area.
