Right now I see 3 options :

1) Just go with the 24-105mm

2) Go with a 24-70mm f/4 + a 70-200mm f/4.

3) 24-105 kit lens + a couple of cheap primes

I'd ditch the lot in favour of one really, really great standard prime. Sigma Art, Canon L, Zeiss Otus... you might not have the 'reach' that some folk need; you might not be able to photograph the same range of 'stuff' as other folk; but you'll have style and quality coming out of your ears.

Do more, or do better? It's an easy choice...

Doh. Apologies for this too-late post.
