What’s a “realistic” lens that you’d like to see Canon make?

RF 50mm f1.4 STM with superior optical performance compared to either the EF 50mm f1.4 or the "nifty-fifty" f1.8 versions.

RF 135mm f2.8 IS 1:1 Macro

RF 150-500mm f4.0-f6.3 IS w/MFD of 20' - 22' (~6.1m - ~6.7m)

RF 14mm f1.8

EF 50mm f1.4L IS w/Max MSRP of $999USD

RF 100mm f1.4L IS (an option for portraits, and certain venues)

RF 100mm f1.8 STM IS

If MILC cameras ever get fast enough to stop action:

How about a 100-300mm f2.8 lens? That would get close to approximating the FOV of a 70-200 on a crop-sensor camera, and I always appreciated that range. 200mm on FF can be a bit short at times

First I want R mount lenses I can afford. I don't make money with photography, so I can't drop $2000 on A lens and no chance I can spend $6000+ for 3 of them.

My top lens is a 16-35 f2.8-4, Non L but still weather sealed. Small and light. Something that is great for hiking or travel lens to go with 70-200. Missing the 36-70 Focal range isn't that big of a deal or just bring a 50mm and your good. 16mm f2.8 is good for astro and that is pretty much the only time I care about f2.8. Then most of the time I am at f8.

I would also be happy with a replacement for 17-40 f4 for the R mount.

To me, no question asked :
EF 135mm f/2L IS USM

You can keep the current optical formula, just go all-in the AF and IS and keep the same size and weight (hence f/2 rather than f/1.8).

That would be awesome through the OVF of a future 5D Mark V (it's coming, riiiiiight?)

I haven't switched to RF yet but this year is it.

I wish there was a RF 24-105mm f2.8L IS (and what I want most from RF). I love the f4 for an all around lens but for events, I'd love the faster speeds in a zoom.

Further, I'd also love an RF 24-135 f4L IS because the expanded range seems reasonable even though the RF 24-105f4IS is already a pretty sweet lens.
