Pros: Size, Speed, Brightness all

Cons: maybe send the parasol ...

Opinion: I mounted the 28th on my brand new R6II and for a whole week of travel to London (without work commitments) I never took it off... I didn't really feel the need for anything else. Very fast, he does his job and he does it very well. The super small size makes it really good even for street music.

Pros: Excellent optical quality; lightness; extreme compactness; Control Ring

Cons: There is no weather sealing, but from this level it is normal.

Opinion: I've owned it for some time now and so I think I can express my opinion. I am really satisfied with this perspective from all points of view. You buy it first of all for its lightness and compactness: mounted on the Canon R, it fits in the pocket of your jacket. This being so inconspicuous makes it interesting in situations where you don't have to be very intrusive, such as in the street. The optical quality is very high in terms of resolution up to the corners, already at TA and constant up to f/8. Distortion and vignetting are present but it is known that this generation of lenses was created to be corrected via software which in this case corrects very well. See the review of Optical Limits. The presence of the programmable ring nut is also very interesting despite the compact size of the whole. The final grade, considering the sense of such a compact lens in the RF optics park, is a nice 10.

Pros: Tiny, fast and crisp

Cons: few, perhaps the lack of stabilization

Opinion: It is a more than honest lens in all its characteristics but its strength is undoubtedly the very small footprint. Little more than a cork.. I mainly took it as a "backup" lens to have in my bag in case the all-rounder zoom broke when I'm away for work, and luckily I never had to use it. So I loved it for light outputs on the RF (almost pocket-sized pair) and video on the R6, I would say excellent, it never disappoints. Maybe a bit expensive as much as I paid for it (more than 400 as soon as it came out).

Pros: Small, light, razor-sharp, fast AF

Cons: 7 blades, nervous bokeh

Opinion: By now together with my R8 I carry him and the 35. In this way I cover all situations both in terms of light and setting. When I'm with friends and family I wear the 28mm because I think as a focal length it is more suitable for conveying a sense of intimacy. Performance is excellent already at f2.8. The bokeh is a bit jittery with difficult backgrounds, I think because of the 7 blades. Apart from that, a very good lens, to have.

Pros: Small, well built, sharp, great colors, very little flare.

Cons: nobody

Opinion: Tried in various situations by now, we must commend Canon for the realization of this small lens. Also tested with the R5 it solves it very well. For street photography, combined with auto AF with subject recognition, it's perfect (with the R8 it also fits in a pocket). You can also easily take selfies since it is so small. I also took away the satisfaction of trying it alongside other much more famous and expensive 28mm and I must say that the result really surprised me in a positive way. The colors are excellent even against the light. The three-dimensionality of the image returned is good. Also interesting is the AF-MF-CONTROL lever that allows you to keep all the functions of the ring in a very small space. So for me, considering everything, since I could never have expected more, I rate 10.
