That changes the question to: How often are you using shutter speeds to freeze subject motion so fast you won't benefit from IS? IS helps as long there's not too much movement in leaves and ...

24&28mm f/2.8 IS USM and 35mm f/2.0 IS USM are nice imo.

Demanding means: the sensor is able to capture a lot of detail. If (- and only if -) you want to benefit from that capability you should have all other factors on par. The lens should be sharp, the ...

You can't speak of a "bokeh quality to weight ratio," however, at the same weight I know what I prefer for my complex back grounds.

I wonder if you do read contributions here. Like I said before: there are no stellar compact primes.  Just try to recognize that elephant. Take a look at the 50mm Art, and especially the 40&105mm ...

1/60th isn't a stress test. 0 stops = 1/200th 1 = 1/100th 2= 1/50th Three or four stops, that's what IS should do.

If you need all the light you can get you need both a large aperture and IS. None of them is a free lunch. With IS you can't handle subject movement. With a large aperture you have to trade DOF, ...

It depends on which sigma you're talking about. The 50Art and to a far lesser extend the 105mm Art on the R was a bit on the blue/green side sometimes. On the R5 this is so much improved it's not ...

Although this is correct, it's very well possible the AF of the R is fast enough for your needs.  I needed the R5 for running kids. Walking speeds are not a problem for the R. The R6 has faster AF, ...

If you buy the R5 now you should buy it together with the full frame lens. If you can't afford this you shouldn't buy it now.  If you don't want to wait you could get the R6 in stead of the R5 ...

Awesome!

50 and 16mm compete on price and compactness 35 and 85mm stm compete on IS and half way macro, but are crippled by mediocre AF The big f/1.2 options compete on f/1.2 and performance. The big  zooms ...

Nothing as boring and unimportant as the opinion of "the audience". That's only important when making money. That said: When buying bright primes it ain't spilling money if you stop down so now and ...

Tamron 85mm f/1.8 VC Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 IS USM L macro Canon EF 35mm f/2.0 IS USM Canon EF 24mm f/2.8 IS USM There's also a ef-m 28mm f/3.5 macro....

... If you want both stellar and compact options the top isn't compact and the bottom isn't stellar. Look at the primes: it's either stm AF or f/1.2 size lenses. Look at the standard zooms: if you ...

I went with the Tamron 17-35mm f/2.8-4 di osd. Stopped down at f/5.6 from 17-24mm it's pretty good. The longest end is a little weaker unfortunately. I'm hoping for a very good and compact RF ...

When I bring my M6II I don't want to leave the Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 at home. I don't need it on the camera all the time, but I do want to have it available in the bag. Just 11-22mm and 32mm is too ...

Granted. And if you have - and willing to bring - a standard zoom covering 24mm well, the 16mm is nice to have in your bag for "just in case".

I'm never stopping fast action at 16mm, but if you do, it matters. No I'm not. see below That's a huge gap between 16 and 35mm.  I would need a 24mm in between. A used 24mm f/2.8 IS USM + adapter ...

RF cameras are the best cameras for EF glass.
