I would often go to events with the 1D X and 70-200/2.8, and put the little 40/2.8 in my pocket in case I needed a wider view. This will serve that purpose with the R3. Plus, it makes a nice body cap.
I have a 40mm pancake in a cupholder in my car, and it never leaves. I bring my big white with me various places in the passenger seat, and if I ever have something I need to shoot, where I don't want to be able to count eyelashes, I pop the pancake on. Honestly, I don't use it very often at all, but it has saved me from having to bring a camera bag with me for years. It sits in the bottom of the cupholder, so someone ransacking the car wouldn't even see it or think that it might be something useful. Besides, here in Vermont we mostly don't lock our doors anyway.
Like Neuro, I have stayed with the EF version of the 600mm f/4 series on my R bodies, which I find more versatile (and, of course, cheaper). This means I don't need to worry about an additional adapter for the 40mm when I pop it on.
I pre-ordered the 28 for the expressed purpose of adding it to my other cupholder. Kids won't be very pleased, as they're already relegated to the back due to the big lens. Now they have to hold their drinks too, if they're cold ones.
