The 28-70 is incomparable.

For its list price of $3100, it's saved me from buying $9,450 worth of fast prime lenses (Canon MSRP).

  • RF 85mm f/1.2 (non-DS, although I'd probably buy the DS, +$300)
  • RF 50mm f/1.2
  • EF 35mm f/1.4 II
  • EF 28mm f/1.4 (Sigma)
  • EF 24mm f/1.4 II

That does not make any sense unless you didn't need f/1.2 or f/1.4. That one (and +) stop is very special IMO.

He conceded that he was giving up speed, separation and bokeh but that for what he shoots that was ok.    Makes sense for him.
