Yea I did miss it, that's why I keep looking and found RF 24-240 + RF 14-35 that I am very happy with I have had people ask if the overlap was a problem and no I like a bit of overlap. It means fewer lens changes.

I too have a severe "Focal Length FOMO", I am thinking along the lines of

- R6 + RF 15-30 STM

- R10 + RF-S 18-150

The advantage of that is that

- R10 + 18-150 altogether is about the same weight as the RF 24-240 lens.

- R10 has the AF and speed of R6

- RF-S 18-150 has sufficient overlap with R6 + 15-30

- And the biggest advantage... I have camera with the lens ready to go instead of faffing about with changing lenses.

There are disadvantages too like different batteries, smaller sensor, narrower DR compared to R6 but for my use those are the things I can live with.

Also, having analysed some of my pictures and also the ones from my latest trip, I have data to show most of my relevant shots were within that 18mm to about 30mm (FF terms) by a significant margin compared to other focal lengths.

Just waiting on some reviews of the 15-30 STM and the RF-S 18-150. The IQ from R10 is probably a known (ie not very different from the 24mp M50 II)
