Re: RF-S Lenses - What We Know and What is Rumored

Hmm,

I agree the lenses are perfect kit lenses to start the system off & I'm sure they're optically excellent & good performers; I've owned, enjoyed & got some wonderful images from the EFS equivalents over the years... I had simply wished they were a tiny bit more exciting!... Given that Canon won't re-make these kit lenses with a 16mm wide end or a wider starting aperture (variable, not expensive constant aperture as you mis-read), and that many people, myself included, won't buy too many more lenses its a shame the lenses won't fully exploit the amazing R10, giving the very best user experience & enjoyment.

It definitely felt like a new dawn when Canon released the original R with endless creative possibilities, & if they're only going to make a few RFS lenses then I had just hoped the kit lenses would have offered something more exciting than the EFS equivalents, given the new design opportunities, but it feels like a missed opportunity.

I only invest in a kit lens, a telephoto zoom & a couple of primes so I want to have as much fun & cover as many photographic opportunities as possible with my small, affordable kit, and would love to stick with Canon as their design, UI, IQ, build quality etc are absolutely superb, & always have been!
