You can pry my 28-70 from my cold dead hands!

Just for giggles, I added the 50 1.8 (because, RF!) and have eyeballed the 35 1.8 as well. In both cases I keep thinking about the compactness and weight savings. Then as time goes on, I never even put the 50 in my bag. Granted, the 2L is in an entirely different league for other reasons, but size and weight be damned, I'll gladly 'suffer' with the big gun for the range and quality vs. a bucket of primes.

Edit: And 90% of my shooting is backcountry hiking/backpacking. I buy overpriced top-tier ultralight everything else, just to have some headroom for luxuries like a more spacious tent, pack space for bourbon and cigars, and big camera gear
