I think it's a pretty bad idea to mount such a slow yet big wide angle zoom as a standard zoom on a crop camera.

The RF mount is clearly designed for full frame, and to combine this mount with aps-c sensors are clearly an afterthought.

I ordered an FE 28-60mm for compactness sake by the way. I will consider it to be an f/8.0 lens for IQ reasons. But even stopped down that far it will do the same thing as a 17-38mm f/5 on a Canon crop sensor in a really small and light weight package. I think that's a better idea than a big slow 15-30mm on an M50, with no space at all for your fingers.

And the same logic applies to the RF24-50 on the R8 or RP.

I didn't see great IQ around f/8.0 yet from this 24-50mm lens.

It will be a great option as a daylight, walk-around kit.

I hope you're right, but I'm afraid it's more a budget option than a compact option.
