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.
Personally, I'd keep things just as they are for now. Really depends on what you shoot, but I've found that for events like wedding receptions and parties, the 24-105 focal length range is more useful than the 24-70, especially with IS. Granted, you do give up a bit of IQ (distortion, corner sharpness, 1 stop more light), but that's the tradeoff.
If you need the advantages the 24-70 gives, then the EF 24-70 II is really a very good lens. Having both gives you 2 different approaches.
Now, in a 2-body situation, if you're using the 70-200 on the RF, then you're bound to use something else on the 5D4, presumably the 24-70 II. That's a pretty good combination too.
Yes, being able to rock the RF 70-200 and EF 24-70 at the same time is one of the things really giving me pause right now. I would love that RF 24-70 though
