From the reviews I've read, the f/1.8 is not it !

A lot of complaints about focus hunting....it needs a switch to lock out the macro range.

The 40mm f2.8 pancake is my favorite walk around EF lens....how bout one for the RF mount?

Or a standard 35mm compact "street" lens, f/2.8 would be fine.

Either would make the RP body a killer street combo.

Why did Canon leave such an essential "use type" out of it's RF lineup?

With the shorter registration distance a 35-40mm couldn't be a pancake. Plus the 35 1.8 isn't much bigger if at all than something like the Tamron 35/2.8.

And the RF 35 is not much bigger than the combo of the EF 40 pancake with the EF-RF adapter. This is juts physics.

This being said, i still hope that we get a RF-S 22. Something like should work on APS-C cameras, it would be really small and ideal for street and walk-around (at 35 mm equiv.).
