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
Yes on both + I was working then, retired now huge difference in income. Plus I am happy with what I have. I also put my RF 14-35 f4 in the same class as the RF 70-200 f4 but it is a bit weak at 35.

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.

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.
