Wouldn't consider any of them

They are close enough to lenses currently in production that it doesn't seem logical to make them with perhaps the exception of the 100-300 but honestly nope. We already own the 50-500 Sigma which is a very handy lens.

The 70mm is close enough to the 85 f1.8/1.2 or the 50 f1.8/1.4/1.2 that again that focal length might be irrelevant considering you might just be able to shift your position to make up what minimal difference that focal length can afford.

The 35-70 is already covered off by many f2.8 lenses and honestly a 1 stop advantage is likely to be offset by cost and weight.

Maybe a few years ago when sensors didn't have the high ISO capabilities of todays faster heavier glass might have made sense but today it might not make a lot of sense to gain a stop through the optics vs the boost from higher spec sensors and cpus.
