With a body like the RP it's now about time to get some "non L" RF lenses, esp. some small FF prime with typical FL lenses like 24, 35, 50 mm or similar.

Such as the RF 35mm f/1.8 IS STM Macro?With a body like the RP it's now about time to get some "non L" RF lenses, esp. some small FF prime with typical FL lenses like 24, 35, 50 mm or similar.
And an assistant to carry it from shot to shot?Well now I need to know what the "look what we can do" lens is! Is it the 14-21 f/1.4? Will it be the widest lens that need a tripod collar?
Maybe smaller?

Don't know how light a FF 17-70 is going to be, even with 3.5-5.6 variable max aperture. They already have the 24-105, so the choice would be between a little longer or quite a bit wider.I have a feeling that we will see something like that 17-70 lens, as a kit zoom. Perfect for travel, providing it's light and decent. 17 is really wide on FF, and that would be a great plus for interior photography on an RF body.
Otherwise, I see a couple of non-L primes, maybe a 24 and 50 and some additional high-end primes.
Like a 50mm 1.2 that is bigger and heavier than the EF one, or a 70-200mm 2.8 that is fatter and probably heavier than the EF one? And it'll probably be twice the price as well, to keep the RF tradition alive. Oh how about a 24-105 that's pretty much identical in specs and IQ to the EF II? How's that an advantage?
Canon's RF designers seem to have Sigma Envy and want to show that they too have big manly bits. Meanwhile I'm looking at the EF 35mm IS because it's small and light.
How about a crazy look what we can do camera body?
Couldn't agree more. When I want "light", specially when traveling, I use my m43 camera and tiny lenses. Gets the job done really well. When I want the FF "look", low light performance, or when I need to "look professional", I am all for the best quality lenses like the new RF 28-70 f2. Hoping for more lenses like it.The RF 35 is smaller, lighter, sharper than its EF 35 f/2 IS counterpart. With the camera market contracting like it is, I don't see much of a market for smaller, slower, cheaper lenses. Many of those users will be using their cell phones. Camera manufacturers are targeting enthusiasts and pros that want high IQ that that means more corrected and larger lenses. Sure, there might be a place for a pancake like 40 f/2.8, but I can't see f/1.8 or f/2 primes from the 24-85mm range being small/uncorrected. More likely, they'll sit near the RF 35 in IQ and size.
The RF 35 is a great lens and I praised it in other treads before.The RF 35 is smaller, lighter, sharper than its EF 35 f/2 IS counterpart.

Canon has said that the new design has more capabilities and that we will see new designs taking advantage of those untapped capabilities.All of their RF lenses take full advantage of the new mount design...
For some/a lot: yes.But for the time being, the 24-240 should suffice.
