Now you guys have me thinking. I wonder if I could be perfectly happy on my vaca this summer with a 3 lenses system, the R8, RF 35, RF 14-35, and the RF 100-400. Not sure what that weighs, but I bet it would work just fine.

That would be a tough call against the very compact setup I took last time I went to Europe which was the EM1.3, Oly 17.5, PL 8-18, and Oly 12-100/4, which treated me just fine.

From my view that would a great travel setup The only problem you may is a large hole between 35 and 100, I would drop the rf35 prime and use a RF 24-105 stm, it bats way over what you would think and its dirt cheap and very lite but its not an L. I have one and its on my R most of the time. When I go out for more than a day I take the RF14-35, RF24-105 and RF100-400 with the R. If I may be shooting a lot moving objects I will use the R6 over the R. The RF 14-35 is an AWESOME lens, I love it When its just an hr or so its the RF 24-105 stm.

What about evening, night time, or indoors like a cathedral, etc? A fast prime of your choice, 28, 35, 50 could be important.

I travel a bit which is why a light kit makes sense. My lenses aren't the fastest but with the ability to push ISO up to 3200 getting shots of a cathedral at night is possible especially when so many of them have some lighting.

What about this combination? It's about 1.8kg.

Canon RF 15-30mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM (400 gms)
Canon RF 100-400mm F5.6-8 IS USM (600 gms)
Canon R8 (500 gms)
Canon RF 35mm F1.8 IS (300 gms)

I only wish Canon had some lightweight 85mm glass. All I could find is the Canon RF 50mm F1.8 IS (160 gms) which is too wide on FF for portraits.
