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 use it with an R6 which has awesome ISO and Ibis so its never a problem Your mileage may very. Ya know I really REALLy hate to zoom with my feet in a crowded area like a really cool cathedral.  You should know what happens when you back up to get the shot you want.  Been there done that, never again with out a wide zoom like the RF 14-35
