OK (but borderline hateful) kit lens

I purchased a used 24-70 f/4.0 IS USM  L for the 6D.  Stopped down old L lenses are winners, especially when combined with good macroish features, RP besting dynamic range, decent coatings. Focus&recompose is good enough for a lot of cases. Battery life is other worldly. View finder detail is beyond pixel counts.

Yes, there's some nostalgic value involved here. But there are also true benefits compared to the RP + 24-105 stm. Corner sharpness at 24mm is probably the least important.

45 is more than enough, but 500.000 isn't
