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

This is the problem with reviews and why you need to try lenses for yourself.

I find that a lot of reviewers are so far down the technical rabbit hole, and feeling like they need to say something interesting for the YouTube algorithm, that they lose all perspective about what is a good lens in practice.

I'm seeing this more and more, even from reviewers that I trust, like Christopher Frost and Dustin Abbott.

I have the 35mm F1.8, and while I hate the physical focusing motor that resembles a zoom in operation, it's a fast, stabilized walk-around lens with excellent sharpness.

It's excellent value for money as well, which is unusual for Canon RF.

Would I shoot super fast sports action with it? Probably not. But it's just about perfect for the street!

I suppose I should get my hands on one

Thanks.
