Re: New 6D user : 24-205mm f/4 kit or 24-70 f/4 + 70/200 f/4, or what else ?

My 6D kit and reasons:

70-400mm f/4L IS - this is a lifetime investment, tack sharp, and the IS is necessary for me.

50mm f/2.8 Sigma macro - inexpensive, sharp, versatile, replaced my Canon f/1.4 when it broke.

35mm f/2 IS - awesome low-light combo with the 6D!

I have both the 24-105 and the old 24-70.  I miss the extra reach to 105 when I mount the 24-70.  However, I use the 17-40 much more than these two, but I like wide perhaps more than you do.

Not telling you how to spend your money but this is how it worked out for me.
