Thank you to everyone that gave me input to my question on the RF 28-70 lens.
I looked up my metadata in Lightroom over the past several years and in 2022 using the R5 camera.
Out of 4,500 shots in 2022 with all lenses I own I used f/1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 1.8, 2.2 only 74 times. 1,755 shots were at f/5.6
I spoke to my local camera shop today and he mentioned Canon might have their trade-in program starting tomorrow. I am not familiar with that program.
Based on my aperture uses and owning the Canon RF 50mm f/1.2L and Canon RF 85mm 1.2L I might just go with the Canon RF 24-70mm and either trade-in or sell my current Canon EF 24-70 2.8L ii.
I don’t have an issue paying the extra $700 for the RF 28-70 but think it will be more practical to use the RF 24-70mm. Easier to haul around all day, 24mm vs 28 mm. Not saying that if I had f/2.0 I wouldn’t shoot more below f/2.8 since I don’t need to change lenses but that is hard to say.
Out of the 4,500 shots I used 24mm 192 times and 28mm 76 times. 1,200 shots were between f/5.6 and f/7.1.
Thank for listening for my rationalization.
I made the exact same decision and I’m still confident that I made the right decision for me. That doesn’t mean that I have 100% stopped dreaming of the 28-70 :-).
For the few times I use less than f/2.8 I will just change lenses. If I owned both the RF 28-70 and RF 24-70 I would probably use the 24-70 considerably more frequently.

Fujifilm's X-H2 is a high-resolution stills and video camera, that sits alongside the high-speed X-H2S at the pinnacle of the company's range of X-mount APS-C mirrorless cameras. We dug into what it does and what it means.
Holy Stone produces dozens of low-cost drone models aimed at consumers. We look at the HS710 and HS175D to see if they stack up to other sub-250g offerings. Are these secretly great or more like toys?
It's small, light, cheap and extremely wide but is it any good?
After weeks with a production Fujifilm X-T5, Chris and Jordan have some final thoughts.
Released only weeks apart, the Sony 50mm F1.4 GM and Sigma F1.4 DG DN Art are clear competitors. Which is the better buy?
Above $2500 cameras tend to become increasingly specialized, making it difficult to select a 'best' option. We case our eye over the options costing more than $2500 but less than $4000, to find the best all-rounder.
There are a lot of photo/video cameras that have found a role as B-cameras on professional film productions or even A-cameras for amateur and independent productions. We've combed through the options and selected our two favorite cameras in this class.
What’s the best camera for around $2000? These capable cameras should be solid and well-built, have both the speed and focus to capture fast action and offer professional-level image quality. In this buying guide we’ve rounded up all the current interchangeable lens cameras costing around $2000 and recommended the best.
Family moments are precious and sometimes you want to capture that time spent with loved ones or friends in better quality than your phone can manage. We've selected a group of cameras that are easy to keep with you, and that can adapt to take photos wherever and whenever something memorable happens.
What's the best camera for shooting sports and action? Fast continuous shooting, reliable autofocus and great battery life are just three of the most important factors. In this buying guide we've rounded-up several great cameras for shooting sports and action, and recommended the best.
