I don’t use it [RF 28-70 f/2] much these days, but I can’t let go of it. It’s special.

you'll not even need the R with that "mass-ive" 28-70

DXO PL5 with deep prime on m6II using F1.4 lenses obviates the need for the HEAVY R and F2

True, DxO DeepPRIME is the great equalizer.

However there really is something special about the Hulka Zoom. Wide open it's got that special L-Prime quality (actually about 4 primes in one lens). And stopped down it's so sharp it'll cut your arm off if you're not careful. I've been using it to shoot outdoor-wear for catalogs (The North Face in this case). Here is a 100% crop from the R5 + Hulka Zoom @ f/8, 70mm...

Before retouching. Straight from the lens. Click on "original size"

Sorry about the harsh lights (they weren't mine). "Make-up" was out sick too (can you tell?!). This is shown just to demonstrate lens resolution.

I know you would have killed for this lens in your heyday MAC.
