As for crop vs FF lenses, from experience I'd go with FF if you can afford them and are willing to shoulder the extra weight. There are at least 2 reasons to do this:

- On a crop sensor, the edges of a FF lens won't be used (because the lens is designed to produce a larger image). That means the crop sensor will be using the sharpest portion of the lens across the frame. When I Canon crop cameras (20D, 7D2), this was noticeable for some of my lenses.

- If you later move to a FF camera, the FF lenses will (obviously) work with it because that's what they're designed for. As pointed out earlier, if you put a crop lens on a FF R camera, the camera will shoot in crop mode—which tosses out a lot of pixels you paid for.

- Bonus: you can buy FF L lenses; I'm not aware of any RF-S L lenses. I personally prefer the construction of L's over non-L's; of course it's a personal choice.

So if I understand it correctly I could add the FF 24-105 to R10 and use it until I decide to upgrade and go FF in the future?

If you go R7 you should never really need Full F camera in the future? R7 has arguably the best af available apart from a few high end bodies, R3/Z7/A1, outside of that personally I'd take the R7 over the R5 and certainly R6. Lenses designed for RF-S are limited but by using their Full Fat counterparts for now, and in the future, the 16 is a sensational 25mm prime on the R7 and 100-500 offers 160-800 which is an exceptional wildlife option with 33mp behind it. The 18-150 is slow aperture for indoor but a 24 1.8 or 35 1.8 will definitely fill that requirement too
