I’ve heard the xc 50-230mm is underrated. Maybe that and the 50mm f2?

Yes - I have also heard the 50-230 is a great lens. But - I want a really, really great lens - I have never owned one. Not even in my Nikon days. I rented a great lens once - a Canon 70-200/4 - way, way, WAY back in my Canon days. That lens was fantastic - and I still admire images I took with it 15 years ago.

***EDIT****

What I mean is - a top shelf lens.  Top of the line.  Both of these lenses I am considering were the top shelf lenses when they were released - and are still stellar lenses.
