Hey guys,

So, I was surprised to learn that the 6D + 24-70 f/4 is available as a kit here in Japan !

That makes the 24-70 f/4 just marginally more expensive than the 24-105, and that tipped the balance in favor of it for me : eventually, I went for a 6D + 24-70 f/4 kit, and a 70-200 f/4 IS.

The 70-200 is impressive and heavy for someone like me who's never touched this kind of gear before
Let's hope I won't miss using a single "good enough" lens like the 24-105 could have been, and as your latest posts seem to suggest.
Worst case, I guess I could easily sell or swap the 24-70 for a 24-105 if it turns out that was a mistake !

Will keep you posted, thanks !
