18-150 is wayyyy more useful.

as the posters are saying, no tried and true 24 mm, ouch

I appreciate the banter but even after considering, I’m sticking to the stock lenses. The alternative is the R8. Pass. Telephoto footprint is a no go. I’ll slap on a 16 pancake first.

Now sure, I wish we had the 15-45 for the R50, that’s just not here. Folks that want 24 need to stay M, which is fine, or go R8, which as I’ve stated, is fine too. Just not for my needs.

to each their own

but you'll miss out on the pop can size RF 70-200 F4L (a small telephoto footprint it is indeed) that could grow not only your R3 collection, but work lighter on an R8, and work in conjunction with the 24-105

I dont get why the 70-200 f/4 at the huge price it is - is so exciting?  OK good IQ but only f/4 and narrow range.  70-200 2.8 RF I get (albeit very pricy) - and the 24-240 if one want versality.  Or the 100-500.   The 70-200 f/4 seems very limited application.
