The f/2.0 zoom doesn't replace primes and doesn't replace light weight zooms.

1. You will need primes when you want less weight with a large aperture. If you have bot the f/2.0 zoom and the 35mm f/1.8 prime, there's no redundancy.

2. You will need primes when you want an even larger aperture. If you have the f/2.0 zoom and primes like the Sigma 28 and 40mm Art or the RF 50mm f/1.2, there's no redundancy.

3. You will need another zoom when you want less weight and the ability to zoom. If you have the RF f/2.0 zoom and the f/4.0 L zoom, there's no redundancy.

This!

Basically there is a good justification for having most lenses. At least I usually manage to find one! 😀😆
