So, there are lenses such as the 24, 28, 35 f/2, 40, 50 f/1.4 & 1.8, 85 f/1.8 & 100 f/2 that can be had for prices ranging between $100 & $700, depending on your budget. Not hard to assemble a brilliant little ( small & light) kit, at not a huge expense. Just something to think about

Would you recommend any particular lenses for this FF small & light kit?

I personally have, & really like the older pre IS 24 mm f/2.8. Only paid about $200 for it from memory. The 40 mm f/2.8 is another little ripper of a lens. Only about $160-180 brand new. IQ is astounding for the size & weight. I tend to jump from there, to 85-100 mm. The EF 85 f/1.8 & 100 f/2 are both small, light & inexpensive. $4-500 should buy you a brand new one. Unless you want to go shooting birds or Motorsport etc, that should pretty. Much cover you.

i have the 28 mm f/2.8 IS USM, & really really like it. I like wandering around car & motorcycle shows, & with that & the 40 mm pancake, can happily shoot all that interests me. No need for even a bag. I'll throw some samples up if you're interested

Here ya go.

Some from the 24 mm

As you can see, the 6D & this combo is plenty small & light enough for my walk/ride around combo.
