I’m also considering selling my RF 24-105 and possibly getting the RF 70-200 f4 (or just packing my RF 2.8 version). I may also sell the RF 2x extender as well (paired with the RF 100-500, the lens becomes pretty slow for wildlife and I’m just not reaching for it as often as the 1.4x).

All this to say: Has anyone sold off the RF 24-105 f4 and/or the RF 14-35 f4 and regretted it? Likewise, has anyone regretted selling the RF 100-400 and/or RF 2x Ext?
Lastly, as mentioned, I may pick up the 70-200 f4 (if I don’t need/want the weight of the RF 70-200 f2.8) or RF 35mm (if I would need wider than 50mm for some street/EDC lens). I understand the RF 70-200 f4 (and f2.8 version) to be great lenses. However, has anyone had experience with the RF 35mm for an EDC/street lens?

thanks for the input/insights

I've sold my 24-105 f/4 for an exchange to 14-35 f/4 and 70-200 f/4 and I'm much more than happy. I'm mostly doing travel photography and this combo suits me very. In future I will probably get 24-70, but I'm not missing that range at all.
