Canon needs a compact walk around RF 35mm

Yes I just bought my first MILC, a lightly used EOS R6, and have been disappointed, partly because I want an R3 viewfinder with OVF simulation, but partly because my just about small enough set of primes, 35 non is, 85 usm and 20 usm, are so much bigger with the RF adapter. My 35L is even bigger, obviously!

Canon cam afford to put a big, high resolution viewfinder with OVF simulation into the R3 because of its price.  The R6 is built down to a price, which is why its viewfinder isn't even as good as the one in the R5.  The lenses are exactly the same size they would be if they were on a DSLR with the sensor in the same position.  Obviously!

The RF 35mm is just avoid the size of my EF-M mount 21mm f/1.4 ( APS-C  equivalent of a FF manual focus unstabillised 35mm f/2.3) with its lens hood reversed over it.  A smaller,  slower lens would be nice, but I have EOS M for portability and discreet photography.

For walkaround /travel etc, I would love a 35 f2.8 the same size as Sony's lens. In fact, I am even beginning to think about switching systems because of it.

Needless to say, if Canon had licensed its lens mount to Sigma, Samyang and Tamron, there would be less frustration, and I'd be sticking around to buy an R6 II, R5 II, or perhaps even an R1.

While I'm ranting about Canon, the thing they need to do most of all, is release an R2-D2, I mean an R2 model, which is an R1 without built-in vertical grip, similar to the Sony A1.

isn't that a future R5 II?  Not that we have the R1 yet, but I think that Canon's last professional camera without a built-in vertical grip was the New F-1.
