I have the godox V1 kind of big but works well with my rp. What about the 85 f2 or 16 2.8 . But I am a portrait king of guy.

I don't have either of those RF lenses. I am sure the RF 85 f2 is good. I don't know about the RF 16mm for portraits, might be somewhat distorted?

I also got RP with 24-240mm lens instead of RF 24-105mm F/4 lens. I have EF 24-70mm F/4

I have an order in for the 24-240 and the EF 24-70 F4.

and EF 50mm F/1.8 lens. Always wondered if it is better to sell EF 24-70mm and get 24-105mm F/4 lens

I considered this trade and actually bought the RF 24-105 F4 as a kit with my R, planning to sell the EF 24-70 F4.  To me, 105 wasn't longer enough than 70 to matter as much as the very cool 0.7-1 macro focus on the EF lens.

or 35mm prime.

If you don't want to keep a somewhat optically better normal zoom with the 0.7-1 macro, the RF 35 F1.8 is a great choice.  It's my number one low light socializing lens.  If shooting events in low light, it's one of two, combined with an 85, that make the shoot.  The 0.5-1 macro function at the 35mm length seems prefect for food and good for florals.  Occasionally, the RF 16 F2.8 could be interesting to get a few shots of the venue and large groups.

That's my opinion, and it's worth what you paid for it.
