This has been a very useful discussion. The RF 35mm f/1.8 has received at least one less than very enthusiastic review from a respected reviewer, but numerous forum participants have taken the time to praise the lens. When forum discussions go well, it is as good as this. It may be September before I get the lens, but I think it will be my first RF.

I agree this thread has been useful, but I'm still not convinced on the 35 1.8. Reviews like the one below (on the Canon web site) give me pause. This photographer uses the lens in a way similar to how I would.

I wouldn't give too much weight to the views of someone who hasn't worked out the "Lens retract on power off" option... especially as what he's saying doesn't match my experiences with the lens over 4 years. But hey, if you're not sure, don't do it.
