Hi all,
I’m a big fan of the RF 28mm f/2.8 pancake, and I ordered it as soon as it was (surprisingly) announced. To me, it signalled a refreshing new direction for Canon’s RF lineup.
While it has one of two minor shortcomings — that is the lack of weather sealing and somewhat imperfect flare control — it excels in so many areas (image quality, autofocus speed, size, and weight) that I often struggle to justify taking any of my RF L lenses out for street work. Even lenses like the RF 35mm f/1.4 VCM tend to stay at home when this remarkably capable little pancake is in my bag.
I’m curious to hear what others think: do you share a similar appreciation for this lens? And would you be interested in a comparable 35mm pancake — ideally with weather sealing?
Cheers,
Farhang
