I would like it more if it was

* 14mm at the wide end,
* constant f/4
* weather sealed

I wouldn't mind if it was shorter at the long end, say 100mm or even 80mm if that would make it easier for Conon to make it more compact

But what I'm asking for is a better quality lens almost to 'L' level and giving me 24-105mm coverage without having to carry a FF camera - something Canon has always seemed reluctant (if not stubbornly resistant) to do for crop lenses

They did do the EF-s 17-55F2.8 and the

15-85 F3,5-5.6

I had two of these and shot 15 mm all the time

now I enjoy my RP + RF 24-105 F4L for travel and walkabout - best 24-105 ever made

I use my 24mm extensively

which were good lenses, especially the 2.8 couple that to the only 2 EF-s primes the 24mmF2.8 pancake and a 60mm macro

so canon only made 4 decent lenses with good build and optics for the EF-s mount in 20 years so i don't hold much hope for RF-s

a mention has to go the 10-18 and the 55-250STM although cheaply made are optically good

the last EF-s 18-55 kit lens the F4-5,6 one is also pretty sharp
