I've sold my 2 TSE lenses (17 and 24 II) and I am looking forward to new RF TS lenses... as long as they do not delay the 35 1.2Same heregeek
Same favorite too (EF 100-400, soon 100-500) and same uses. But on the other backpack strap, a Leica M + 35mm clipped in (PeakDesign). My 2 most often used lenses. But you also sure know how beautiful cities in Italy an France can be: 24 TSE is my other "necessity". I happen to hate converging building lines. And a few WAs, a macro, a short tele...
With the 100-500 I might skip the macro and save another 400 grams, slightly reducing right knee pain. Or eat 400 grams more in a rifugio (most probable!).
Never asked to weigh my food in a rifugio (or any restaurant)... I prefer to eat too much and regret it later

I tend to believe the RF 35 f/1,2 will even come ahead of the TS lenses. A bit risky to sell them this early, isn't it?I've sold my 2 TSE lenses (17 and 24 II) and I am looking forward to new RF TS lenses... as long as they do not delay the 35 1.2

The 85mm 1.4 IS was among the latest EF lenses released and it was awesome because of the size and the IS.

The grey market has disappeared in Australia as Canon Australia is following the US pricing. Add the 5 year warranty and there is no point buying elsewhere.
It seems to be a Canon UK/EU pricing issue to have so much of a price difference (ex VAT). Canon may service them at a price but may not honour the warranty period.
When we did have a grey market, the local reseller needed to provide a local warranty under our consumer laws. They would send them back to Hong Kong to be serviced if necessary so the repair time was longer than locally sourced bodies.

I don't think so, the way he complains, I believe he won't want to stop complaining. It's like a drug for some people and he most likely will either find something wrong with rf50 1.4 or be silent about it and harp on some new thing.

it can't be any worse than the EF50/1.4!
It will just be a mid point (quality/size/aperture/cost) between the f1.2 and f1.8. The current pricing difference between the two are stark

Reality is, I wasn't using them much since I had bought the 10-20 - I know they are not the same thing.
And also I am keen on finishing the EF -> RF transition

If I were you, I would buy the 35 and soon to be released 24. Easy decision..

The fat lady has not sung yet. 2.5 months to go. Just a few more lenses remain.

I rented the 28-70mm F2 for own wedding in July. Family from Austria and the US were in town for a week (some longer) so I got and took it to several events. It is an awesome lens and takes great pics! I also usually shoot at F2 or 2.2 even with primes with lower f-numbers. I agree with you, I also want both eyes in focus.
The weight thing is an issue though... not suited for traveling or such. But imho the best lens for family gatherings or other social events.

I await that lens too. Big lens that can contain all the goodness in it. Corner to corner super sharp. Great bokeh. Not relying on software fixing. Yes, that is the lens I am waiting for. Like the 50mm 1.2. Yeahhhh. My guess would be that Canon will make that lens when the focusing motor is strong enough to focus fast with a heavier lens.
