Canon RF 28mm f/2.8 STM Reviews
Underrated

Can't tell you how surprised I am. Great contrast, great sharpness. IMHO always the perfect desert island focal length. Yes, it's 2.8 but for the size it's a no-brainer. Keep an mind the Fuji X100 series is 35mm eq ~f/2.8 after factoring for its cropped sensor. Except you have the better camera and focal length ;)
The lens barely protrudes past the grip.

pics of course are sharp. I did not see any vignetting around the edges at wide open. the creativity of pics will be entirely up to you. 28 is not easy to use. I suggest watching some vids on how to shoot 28mm.
