Re: Lens recommendations for new R5 user

you don't say whether you like or need fast aperture  in your main zoom lens

if you was considering the 28-70 F2 you can buy the 24-105 F4 and all the F1.8 primes 35/50/85 and a EF 16-35F4is with an adaptor  for about the same money (UK prices)

this will give you 16mm to 105 at f4 with one lens swop and 35and 85 at F1.8 with macro and the 50

the 35 and the 50 will make discret streat lenses

all there's lenses will give very good results ...but if you need every last bit of IQ i would say you need to look at better content in your photos

the EOS M is not dead and wont be for a long time ....as long as you don't want a flagship camera with a VF...if that's the case it died sometime ago

There is no argument for FF vs APS-c (or m43) with shallow DOF..as it's a law of physics and a very subjective personal thing if you want to make use of the shallow DOF only FF can offer

If you wait for a camera that will  tick all your boxes ....by then you will have more boxes to tick..... so the wait continues .....David Appleton
