A monster has landed in the lab - Klaus - 04-06-2022

The RF 28-70mm f/2 USM L 

Mounted to an R5, the camera looks a little bit like a joke.

I saw a brief video of this lens .......

... ludicrously huge ........ ludicrously heavy ....... ludicrously expensive ..... 

....... and ludicrously optically nigh on perfect !!

Imagine it mounted on a small APS-C camera!..

... Oh right.

Dunno what you are on about, that lens is the size of a normal prime:

Yes, what are you complaining about? It's much smaller than some primes:

I get the high performance aspect of this lens, but in terms of usability is hard to figure out whether it is a STATEMENT lens or pure special purpose instrument. Given the price, size and weight.
