I bought this as a lightweight travel lens for vacations. It is pricey for some people but it is sharp and can shoot in low light. I have it on an R8 for a small camera rig that packs a punch. I’ve shot in low light restaurants and outside on a trail. The range may be the only downside but you are not going to find anything more compact and light.

This lens blew me away with how clean it is. The combo with the Canon R8 takes high quality professional photos. The autofocus works wonders and never misses if you got the right camera settings. Glad I bought this as my first RF lens.
