For the weight and price, who can really complain? That's probably why the ef version, if I remember is constantly a top seller every year

Didn't read your comments about that lens in first.
RF 1.8/50 STM (and EF 1.8/50 STM) is a compromise lens.
But it is cheap. Cheaper than something you can get from Sony and Nikon. One of my main points pro Canon APS-C for consumers.
And if I was to choose between the RF 1.8/50 STM, RF 1.2/50 L USM and the yet to be released RF 1.4/50 L VCM, I know which I'd take.
The compromise! Which I own and use since last year
But you'll have to pay at least 10 times that much if you want a Canon RF 50 mm lens. (If the VCM costs as much as the 35 VCM)
Let's hope for a good AF third party lens somewhere around 400 - 700 €.

My problem with Canon's 50mm L lenses is not the price, I've paid lots more for Leica M or R Lenses. It's their weight and their size. I expect the coming f/1,4 to be much smaller than the f/1,2 , so, maybe...Didn't read your comments about that lens in first.

As you wrote, it's all about compromises. Small, inexpensive , but optically compromised, or large, heavy, expensive but nearly perfect...Depends on the use. For mountain hikes with half a dozen lenses and 2 bodies, the decision is very quickly taken. And, the little STM 50 f/1,8 is very sharp, even if only above f/4.

After the rains in the last week or so yesterday I went out with only the Tamron 90mm (model F017) macro. Honestly all the time I was in fever I may see interesting bird but it didn't happen (first time I'm really happy I didn't see interesting bird )! The ground still is not soaked enough and everything that I found was on twigs or Ginger stems.
The last one (#7) is from today and is with the 500mm PF - much better light!
1. Tetrapyrgos nigripes
2. Polyporus arcularius
3. Lycogala epidendrum - older fruit bodies.
4. Coprinus s.l. (sensu lato) - without microscope I don't want to guess which of the modern genera it is.
5. Campanella sp.
6. Marasmiellus sp.
7. Leucoagaricus barsii - probably started growing in wet and it's what it looks like when the humidity is low...

Thanks! In the time when I was running the forests around (to document species not yet known for Hawaii...) I would not even pull out my camera from the bag for these: very common! It was very different when I got in front of something - that was the cool thing!!!!

I think that is one major key to a good photo:
Be able to keep an eye on the bg and make the best out of it, so that your subject can shine the most.
Next one would be composition

Always - if I had the choice... Sometimes.... Unfortunately most of the time I don't have it. And since I'm still in "documentary mode" with the fungi - I don't care that much. In this particular photo-op there was nothing interesting. If there was something that I have never seen before here or at least something that I just have seen a few times I for sure will not care about the principles that Maximilian used to teach me (like any one here doesn't know that elementary stuff): I will shoot to DOCUMENT, no matter of the final result from photographic point of view!!!

IMO this is a gear forum and the photographic aspect is the most important for images HERE.
This is why I post variations of the same subject, shot with different focal length or different aperture
All focus stacking images with R5 + RF35.
