  Well Thom has some sort of point ....... but it's strange that both Canon and Nikon adopted similar DX lens policies !!!!!!

Nikon only did "DX" bodies for years and years, leaving the whole FF game to Canon. They did the kit lens (18-70mm), higher end UWA zoom (10-24mm) and  standard zoom (17-55mm f2.8) pretty early on, leaving the FF portrait primes and 70-200mm f2.8 to fill in the APS-C void. The 35mm f1.8 DX followed later. Nikon seemed to rely on brand loyalty for a long time, there.

Canon has no DX policy, DX is a Nikon thing ;-)

Canon introduced the 22mm f2 for EOS M right at the start, giving it a 35mm prime FF equivalent right away, that made sense. I agree that they were a bit slow introducing the 32mm f1.4 (50mm FF equivalent). 

Whether/when Canon may introduce an RF mount APS-C camera and which lenses they will introduce in that event, remains to be seen. But Nikon has introduced that Z mount APS-C camera 1 1/2 years ago, and still only offers 2 kit zoom lenses. That is very baren...

Barren indeed !! ...... there is a 18-140mm on the way apparently plus the F mount glass via adapters (err well)) ....... which is why I think Nikon has other ideas about camera schedules including the Z9 (their queen bee).

btw... the generic DX term.
