true, but see below

I’m a fan of the 15-35 so that’s a more natural pairing in a dual body scenario unless you want reach which becomes the 70-200. The difference is that 4mm but a whole stop. If indoors the former pairing makes sense. Outdoors? 24-70 and 70-200.

I've done 20 weddings as the primary

When the Church personnel relegate you to the back of the church during the ceremony, and you didn't have the 70-200 -- you are toast. You can live without a 16 -35. But the 70 -200 is the money lens

We’re getting way off M vs R though and wading into R vs R discussion. Those fast zooms be it 24-70 2.8 or 28-70 2.0, are both options not with M counterparts.

true, but if one could ever get them to develop m5II with IBIS -- one could buy three of them and work a paid event with the 16, 32, 56 and only have to change lenses to the 70-200

.

I still think, even though those f/4 zooms make sense for FF, some premium zoom would be nice for the M. Oh well.
