I was disappointed when the 50/85 came out. The R6 specs and price were prob the last straw. The 3rd party lockout was confirmation.

Anyone who says Canon's RF moves don't affect sales is delusional.

Yes, I’m sure some people are switching to Canon because of the unique RF offerings. I know that I would switch, if I were a Nikon or Sony shooter. The 16, 85, 50, 100-400, 70-200 F2.8 and 100 macro are all lenses that I couldn’t get in any other mount. Also the 600 and 800 F11, though I don’t have those.

I guess if you choose to limit what you want in a lens to things you can only find in RF mount then yes you have nowhere else to go. Which is probably just how Canon likes it.

While there's no such thing as an objectively bad lens anymore, I find it a little absurd to say lenses like the 50 1.8,

The RF 50mm f/1.8 stm is 260 grams, so I guess anything heavier than that is declared to be too heavy.

But Canon means perfection! If that lens was even 259 grams, it would be too flimsy, and if it was 261 grams, that would be too heavy. People are going to switch to Canon in droves for this lens.
