i don't have the RF version but i do have the EF 24-70 f2.8 II, and i get the same result as you have described. i feel like i have primes in that range all wrapped up in 24-70 II.

Hmmmmm..... that's not my feeling with my EF 24-70mm f/2.8 USM mkII.

then something is wrong, its worth looking into.what kind of issue you have? my lens is glued on my 5DsR and sometimes on my 1Dx. i only carry my 2470 f2.8 mk2 and canon 100-400 mk2, everywhere i go, nothing else. am very happy with both.

There are no issues, but for me it's just a zoom not replacing my 28,40,50(ART)&(RF f/2.0)85mm primes. It's a sharp lens, but the difference between f/2.8 and f/3.2 is clear, and at f/3.2 the 28mm is still sharper at f/1.6, the 40mm at f/1.4, the 50mm at f/2.0, and the 85mm does better at f2.0 than the zoom at 70mm & f/3.2 and gives ILIS as a bonus.

45 is more than enough, but 500.000 isn't
