The RF 28-70mm f/2 USM L 

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

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.

Very popular with fashion photographers, it appears ...
Gear: Canon EOS R with 3 primes and 2 zooms, 4 EF-R adapters, Canon EOS 5 (analog), 9 Canon EF primes, a lone Canon EF zoom, 2 extenders, 2 converters, tubes; Olympus OM-D 1 Mk II & Pen F with 12 primes, 6 zooms, and 3 Metabones EF-MFT adapters ....
