I will like to see lightweight and cheap RF 24-70 f/4 and 50 f/1.8 lenses. A lightweight RF 16mm zoom/prime lens will be the icing on the cake.

Is the 35mm RF lens as good as the 22mm EF-M? Because I really want more primes like that for my RF mount.
How about something like a 12-24 f4 L?
That doesn't really align with the fact you can get pancake lenses in, at least, 18mm 21mm and 35mm for the Leica M mount that has a 28mm flange distance.AFAIK, a pancake's focal length needs to be roughly the flange distance, in this case 18mm. An ultra wide pancake would be welcome.
Canon has an 11-24mm f/4L for EF, I doubt an RF equivalent wouldn't be at least as wide.
I wonder why the ultra wide primes arent more popular. A 14mm f4 might pair well with a 24-105 Or 35.
Amen. The 11-24 is a no-brainer. I suspect they aren't making money on it, but proceeded with it as a way to attract people to the brand (which is exactly what it helped do for me - Since switching from Nikon last month it's part of the trio that offers what Nikon doesn't: Ultrawide 11-24, compact RF 70-200, and ultralight 400mm 2.8).The Canon EF 14mm f/2.8L mkII is priced at $2,100. The Canon EF 11-24mm f/4L is priced at $2,700. Considering the $600 difference would get me precious little more, what I get on the wide side, and how I use wide lenses (tripod, static view), I opted for the later.
"Fixed aperture" brings to mind the old consumer lightweight telephoto mirror lenses, which always had questionable quality. But I've often thought it a design worth revisiting with modern manufacturing technologies. I wonder if they cracked that nut?
I think it's the difference between "fixed maximum aperture" like a 70-200 f4, where you can always open up to f4, and a "fixed aperture" lens that never changes aperture, like those old mirrored lenses.It's a common term used for hundreds of lenses, both prime and zoom. Both professional and consumer. I'm not following your logic here. Why you are linking it your mind with those mirrored lenses is beyond me.
Actually, a 17-55 (full frame range lens) would be perfect me, as I love to be at the wide end, though I'm not aware of anyone making such a lens. I would happily trade some focal length for a wider lens.
