The 35 1.8 is my choice. I traded the crappy kit lens that came with my R50. It's my only lens. Still looking a full frame camera but having a blast with this set up.
The macro versions of the 35mm and the 85mm are good enough for me. Combined with the 16mm, this affordable trio is flexible enough to cover most situations.
Great video! I love what you are doing with the RF 16 f/2.8. I have a budget list. The RF 85 f/2 is at the top. I need to "fall in love" with my RF 35 f/1.8 and maybe pick up the RF 50 f/1.8 before leaping into the L-series primes. I have rented the heavenly RF 85 f/1.2. WOW!! I agree with others about the 100 f/2.8 and am thinking about upgrading from the EF to the RF version.
A fine selection of lenses! I’m looking to add the 85mm and the 35mm to my kit but will take my time as I couldn’t resist the 200-400 for motorsport and 100-400 II for aviation EF L glass. However the EF 100 L macro colour when I use it is out of this world compared to everything else I own, even the EF 70-200 II L. I might compare it to the TSE 24 actually

The 35 1.8 was absolutely in my top 5 before they came out with the 1.4 VCM version. The 1.8 would likely be my first choice to pair with an R50.

100% legit comment on your part. I love the 35mm Macro. I used to have the 85mm f2 but traded it for the bigger 1.2. But it still took amazing shots.
Love the video! Definitely agree with the 85 1.2 being up there!
Thanks! Yeah, after all these years, the 85 still rules

16mm is underrated. The 35mm 1.8 is also an excellent lens. It's good for telling stories.

The 100 is excellent. Great value for the money.
Canon RF 100mm 2.8
Absolutely a worthy lens.
