I don't own an R5 yet but will purchase when the time is right.

The 24-240 is my first recommendation, its a quality superzoom.Much better than past SZs.I suggest as it covers most of what you have mentioned.

Along with 24/240 ,I'd suggest an adapter and an UWA ef mount used copy(17-40 or 16-35).

With these 2,you have everything you mentioned covered and can experiment and record your need for which/what lens you use more frequently.

The cheap RF primes 35/50/85 are worth the $.

All this glass can be discarded and sold down the track without too much loss.Buying into the top end glass brings a big depreciation factor.Renting may be an option too?

I already own the 70-200 and it has spoiled me against superzooms hahaha. But it is a fine recommendation!!

Here in Greece depraciation is non exiatent in photography gear. We get a pretty good deal when selling camera equipment with a vesry small loss. Unfortunately renting is also non existent at the moment as we can not rent online (there isnt a big retailer that does that).
