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.

With my event and sports shooting I don’t need the ultra-fast lenses, but rather the flexibility of a good zoom.  And the 28-70 produces images with excellent character, which is one aspect I’m after.  I just don’t need to get that kind of rendition from primes now.
