Canon RF 35mm f/1.8 Macro IS STM Version 2 Coming?

I don't know man, i did shoot 640mm on APS-C a lot and VERY often i had to crop to get what i wanted. But sure, in ideal conditions from a hide it's fine. Try to shoot small birds out in the wild with 400mm. And 500mm might be only 20% more than 400 but it's 50% more pixels on the subject.
And don't compare the 45MP R5, where you can drop away half of the image with a 24MP full frame.

It's not the number of pixels on the subject that counts for resolution, it's the square root of the number. My speciality is shooting small birds in the wild, and I've posted thousands of images of them over the years on Canonrumors. And why shouldn't I compare it with the 45 Mpx R5/R5ii - it's what I shoot with. And for years before that the 50 Mpx 5DSR. I crop all the time, and it's the high resolution sensors that let me do so.
