There are 11 S35 RF Mount lenses, four by Canon themselves:
Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 would be kinda close-ish to that.

Apologies for hijacking this thread. Before buying Canon's new Voice Coil Motor RF lens(es), make sure you're not using a pacemaker.

Just chiming in with my experience of the speed booster:
It's great with the EF24-105II - I used this pair extensively before purchasing an RF24-70 expecting an AF performance gain (more in terms of accuracy and tracking). Didn't notice any difference.
I actually prefer standard zooms with the speed booster because the field of view at the wide end is more useful.
I did do some tests at one point with various Sigma Arts with the speed booster and without. If you pixel peep the speed booster introduces green / purple fringing - no appreciable resolution loss but it definitely has unwanted artefacts. Not noticeable in real world use those.

Wow - what a set of horrors! *
Correction.. "they dont make any S35 lenses that one might want"
Like the 17-55 2.8 was kind of a s35 24-105.

*my friend uses a 24-200 6.3 sony and it is actually very useful if not 'cinematic'
*these 'terrible' lenses can be actually OK if you are not a snob (and it is daytime)

I just remembered an EF RF thing.. the possible to add the ND filter to RF cameras/EF lenses.
I though that would be a big deal.. but because I only use my R6 with a 24-70 I have learned not to care about getting 'the correct' aperture.
I use no filter indoors
a 3 stop outdoors
Sometimes I have too much DOF.. but if I were doing 'serious' work I would be using a different camera.
Using the r6 has been a journey of learning to get 'good enough' footage very quicly often of interesting things. It is so small and nimble.
