Re: RF 15-35 or 24-70 as next (have EF24-105 f4)

I shoot with EF 16-35mm II USM and EF 135mm f/2L USM on R6 for most of the time and I'm very satisfied with this combination. Some people may feel more secure having the whole focal length range covered but I find this unnecessary. The extra range covered by 24-70 can easily be compensated by zooming with your feet, or some slight cropping.

If you shoot videos, also beware of the slight 1.07x crop of videos on R6. If you enable movie digital IS, the image would be further cropped. 15mm would be perfect with this slight cropping. It reduces extreme distortion, and is just wide enough for most purposes.

I would definitely go with the RF 15-35.
