Re: Lens kit for R5 (and 5D MkII?)

Well, these are all great choices. If it were me doing the purchasing then i would go with option 3 out of the ones you propose. I am not a big fan of 24-70 lenses and do not own one. this is primarily because i find the zoom range inadequate and so I tend to go towards the 24-105 option, even though this is a f4 rather than F2.8. However, given your stated presences the 24-70 F2.8 looks like a good choice.

When it comes to the 70-200 F2.8, well, I do have this lens and it is simply outstanding! On my R5 the IS is simply unsurpassed by any other lens combination I have used (I have the 14-35 L, the 24-105 L, the 70-200 2.8L, the 100-500 L and the 800 F11, plus more EF lenses than I care to list). None of the others give me the same level of slow speed handholding capability. The lens is tack-sharp, and the bokeh at f2.8 is a true delight.

So, option 3 it is!
