The RF15-35mm is a nice ultra wide lens and covers 35mm too. It particulary useful indoors in tight spaces for group shots as well as outdoors for panoramas. Many times I need the ultrawide to get everything in the shot. It can be the perfect complement to the 24-240mm in some of my travel uses. I leave the RF35mm home in those cases. The wide ultrawide and the 35 are not that different in size. The wide zoom works well with a small flash but getting full coverage of the 15mm is tricky with a single flash. It all depends on the available light and the subject matter. It is a lot of money but it also gets a lots of use from me.
Interesting. I've never owned an f/2.8 ultra wide zoom (f/4 previously) so this changes things where it becomes a "party lens".
Right now my RF 28-70 f/2L has been my party lens in the same way your 24-70 f/2.8L would be.
Where then does the RF 24-70 f/2.8L fit in my workflow? Or you swap between the 15-35 f/2.8L and 24-70 f/2.8L I presume for that work?
The kicker is I just sold off my M gear which was a pretty penny. I can justify either an RF 15-35 f/2.8L or, R5 potentially as both would be partially or mostly paid for with existing gear sale funds (as I'd sell the R) without the need to ask the other half for approval to use our money otherwise. The approval part is my problem; just because I'm the one who brings the bread home doesn't I don't have to justify it to the "boss".
Funny how when she wants that new fence though or tile flooring this never comes up...
First world problems
I am thinking the RF 15-35 makes more sense than the R5. Optics are usually the better investment.
