Wow a few questions, I may have a few answers

Yes I did have a RF 24-105L, it was part of the R6 kit on release. For some reason I did not care for it and sold it. A few years later I was very sorry I did

any insights as to why you were sorry? Did you miss having that range or…?

I now have and love the little RF 24-105 stm and think its awesome

Why not get the f4 version again? Did you want lighter weight?

I don't think I will ever sell my RF 100-400 or the RF 1.4x. The rf 70-200 f4 L is another lens I will NEVER let go of. It's one those cold dead hands thing I do like the RF 35 but don't use it as much as I would like, the RF 24-105 covers 35 rather well.

I got that need for speed thing out of my system long ago when I had the Sigma pair of 1.8 zooms and fast primes.

I want to add I really like my RF 24-240, yea sounds crazy but it’s a great one lens solution for out and abouts.

Thank you
