I am trying to decide which lens will be more helpful for me,
I own a canon r6 and r bodies , I work professionally, doing events /weddings/christenings and also a bit of studio work. I am trying to build my system with rf lenses and decide which of my ef lenses to keep.
I own the canon rf 28-70 f2, rf 35 1.8 macro , rf 50 f1.8 . For EF system I own a canon EF 16-35 F4L IS and a tamron 85mm f1.8 sp series
Most of my work is with the range of 28-70 for events weddings etc.
I am trying to decide with lens I should buy to complement the range above 70mm?
I was thinking for the rf 70-200 f2.8L , but it's a bit more expensive than the new RF 135 f1.8, I assume the 135mm prime will be sharper, but I don't know if the 135mm prime will be convenient for events, wedding portraits in church etc (space limit). ? The rf 85mm F1.2L is an excellent lens but I feel I need a bit more mm than 85mm.
I don't know if the rf 100 macro f2.8L can be used as a portrait lens for events / weddings? Maybe it has a slower autofocus as it's a macro lens? On the other hand it's well within my budget.
Any suggestions what lens will be more useful for me? ( I used to have the EF 70+200 f2.8L ii but didn't use it due to its weight and size )
IME the RF 70-200 f/2.8 is the perfect complement to the 28-70. For me, that's about all I need. The new zoom is also sooo much lighter than the EF versions.
However if you have the flexibility to be able to shoot with a prime, the RF 85 f/1.2 is primo (I don't, so I shoot with the zoom).
I have the RF 100 also, but use it for only macros. I really like my Sigma EF 135 f/1.8 for portraiture, but might trade it at some point for the new Canon 135 (for the IS).
I have a bunch of the STM primes, but they don't go with me to events/sports. The zooms do everything better.
Some choices are personal preference. My mantra has always been to "Know Thyself."
Best of luck!

Logic and for money making is saying 70-200 f2.8L. My heart is saying 85mm F1.2L
