Hi all,

I currently have below three lens:

RF 1.8 STM 35mm Macro

RF 1.8 STM 50mm

RF 1.2 L USM 85mm

I got lucky and I just ordered a 28mm-70mm f2 RF without have to wait backorder on Canon site. I ordered it and got it the next day. However, I realized it might be too big for me. I am not making any income out of any lens I buy for myself. So I am thinking carrying this 28-70mm RF f2 lens might not be a fun carry around camera for me as a hobbyist.

I am thinking to return this lens and get a RF f1.2 L 50mm lens and another cheap high aperture zoom lens from STM line up.

And I am to keep this RF 28-70mm f2 lens, I probably wont keep the prime RF 1.8 35mm and 50mm 1.8 STM lens.

What are you guys opinion?

Your dilemma is pretty simple, as I would have no such problem at all.

If you know your work you should know what gear you need to make it comfortable. I would never carry around three primes, where I can take only one. In studio it is a different story. Outdoors, it is simple for me, as I much prefer manual zoom over any leg-zoom.
