I carried my two prime lens setup around Peebles Island this morning, using mostly the 50mm lens. I'm finding that 16mm pushes background objects much farther way than I'd like. Something you don't really notice with an untrawide zoom lens as you can always zoom in a bit. This could be an argument for the RF 16-28mm f/2.8 lens.
I've only been out with the cheap 50mm f/1.8 once since picking it up so decided to use it this morning. I really like the 45-50mm focal length. Objects seem as near or far as our eyes really see them. The problem is the field of view which, in contrast to our eyes constantly move around to capture a wide vista, is severely limiting. A roughly 50mm focal length on a larger sensor like the Fujifilm GFX cameras would be a help as it has the same benefit but with the field of view of a 39.5mm lens on a full frame body.
I'll predict that if I start using this lens a lot and enjoy it with quality results I'll end up wanting the RF 50mm f/1.2L lens. I have a lot of different filters for that filter diameter including the 500D closeup lens. It would be a really nice setup.
But, at least for now, it's the cheap RF 50mm f/1.8 STM.
