I fully understand your logic and if I would have been 10 years younger I probably would have done the same - who cares how many camera begs I need to carry on my trips also, it looks like you are much more vested in z lenses (and a ZII) than I was. I agree: the three Z lenses that I had were superior, but the RF70mm-200mm F2.8 that I have is at least as good (actually amazing!). Just to show you that I am not all just for Canon: I really miss my Nikon D850 with the AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm F/2.8E FL ED VR, together with the 2X TC for 140-400mm F5.6 with outstanding sharpness. The only option I have for similar performance is to add another big and expensive (!) RF100-500mm F4.5-7.1L IS USM Lens, that makes the bag much heavier.

Good luck to you with whatever suits your needs.

Thank you again for sharing!
