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

That would be a lot of lenses during travel. I dont like swapping lenses when out and about. I am a clumsy person and i can definitely drop a lens. I know i could leave the 24-105 all day long and swap to primes during dusk but that too is a bit problematic for me. I like a more minimalistic approach where less is more. I need a fast aperture lens thats why i am looking at the 28-70 f2. That range would cover about 50% of my needs. I have a 70-200 that would cover another 30%...All thats left is the wide angle side but i could stich or ask a friend to use his 16-35. Hahaha the more i talk about it the more i like the concept and the more i prefer the 28-70 over the 24-70
