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

Yeah, I think the 15-35, while apparently a great lens, is not something I'd make a ton of use out of right now. I've not felt like I've needed wider than 24mm very much. I like the idea of trying a cheap EF 17-40 first and see if I get into that. So, probably should take 15-35 out of the running.

100-500 probably would be quite useful to me...

I'm a sucker for speed though, and think I would really like the update to RF 24-70 2.8. Even though the EF 24-105 has gotten new life on my R6, indoors still wish it were faster. See attached image taken at 68mm  outside (see, 24-70 IS portrait range!!!). Never have I ever gotten as sharp a picture on my 6D with that lens!

I'd probably best be served by keeping my EF 24-105, using my RF70-200 or EF 85mm 1.8 when I need speed, and getting the 100-500. That would give me widest coverage. But, I seem to really keep thinking about that 2.8 speed for indoors on the 24-70.... Also, need to buy the lens through Best Buy since I have a bunch of rewards to spend, and they don't have 100-500 in stock at the moment, but DO have the 24-70.
