Re: Pairing down gear for wildlife/travel weight savings

24mm will be ok in most of the cases but you listed the RF50 as your widest wildlife lens... But if you take a 24-105 for me this would be too much overlapp with a 100-500 when you look at the cropping potential of the r5. The same size 14-35 gives you more flexibilty. As stated above my two lens "light" combos are 15-35+70-200 or 15-35+100-500 or 35+100-500 or 35+100 or 16 +100. It really depends on the environment (last summer in island I always had the rf100-500 on my r7 and the 15-35 on my r5. That was just perfect from vast wide langscapes to small birds. On a trip to a town with only small chances for wildlife I take often 15-35+70-200 and only the r5)
