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

Thanks everyone !

In the end I went for the 24-70 f/4 + 70/200 f/4
I also still have the 50mm f1/8 which is every bit as hard to get in focus on a 6D asĀ it was on the 650D

So far (landscapes, street, social/parties photos) I've used the 24-70 almost exclusively.
Which makes me wonder if I'll ever think of carrying the 70-200 when I need it, and also if I should have just gone for the 24-105 which could then have been my only lens probably... :/
I'm quite happy at 24 for landscapes btw, I wonder what I'm missing with even wider, maybe I should try a 16-35.
I suspect 16-35 + 24-70 + 85mm would have been a better combo for me probably, not to mention less bulky than a 70-200

PS: if you're in Europe, I'm selling my EOS 650D and my 15-85mm EF-S here, let me know if interested.
