Say you own the R and the 5D Mk IV. Say you also own

EF 35 1.4 II

Sigma Art 50mm 1.4

EF 85 1.4 IS

EF 100 2.8 Macro IS

I want to thin down the 24-70 range from 2 lenses to 1. What to do? I do want to keep a nice balance of EF/RF so that my 5D always has the appropriate lens when needed. I shoot both bodies at once at weddings and events.

If I got the RF 24-70, I would pair the RF 70-200 with the EF 35, and the RF 24-70 with the EF 85.

Notice I didn't put the 28-70 f2 in the poll, for reasons.

You'll eventually switch to the RF mount, leaving the EF behind... in what, a generation or maybe three.  As a professional, or semi professional do you think you'll actually be able to hold out for four or five generations of bodies?  I doubt it.  You can use the EF lenses you have with an adapter.

Ditch your EF stuff while it has value.
