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...

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.

in my heyday they didn't have 45 mpxl, IBIS, mirrorless eye focus, and 4 primes at F2 all in one

so yeah, professionally who wouldn't want this in the old days when I was in my heyday

those days are over for me ...

for you R2, you are re-joining your second heyday    -- great gear for pro shoots!

for RLight - carry on if pro shoots are needed
