Re: Struggling between RF USM and STM lineup as an amateur
Thank you all for yet another insight full responses.
I don't want to be chaotic, but I have a 3rs option in mind right now š¬
3) RF 24-70mm F2.8, RF 50mm F1.2 and RF 70-200mm F4.0
So I would like to ask is it better to have two lenses of the holy trinity but with no room between the edges @70mm or the combo RF 24-105mm F4.0 and RF 70-200mm F4.0 would give more flexibility, as one doesn't have to immediately change the lens after @70mm?
If I would go the 3rd route, then I would just buy all three altogether. If I would go the 4th route, I would wait with the tele zoom to see if I need it.
I'm asking because you sometimes wrote that the flexibility to take a shot, without change the lens is more important than having the whole focal range between 24mm and 200mm.
RF 50mm is a premium lens, which I will buy to have this unicorn.
And one more interesting thing if my past. As I used to be a student in Poland many years ago, I had some pocket money from my parents, less than 1'000zÅ/month. I saved two years, making some part jobs to buy a 5'000zÅ set Canon 50d & EF-S 17-55mm F2.8. I won't sell this combo, as it only has emotional value to me. It shows that I could patiently save money for something what I wanted, not having a lot of earnings. Nowadays to buy this whole set I'm talking about is just a matter of a financial decision if I want to burn a lot of money. But it's no stretch for me, as it was in the past. I am also no millionere, so I understand that this decision will affect my progress in savings, etc. But as I already wrote, I will have this camera and those lenses for many years. I am a Canon Believer. I've tried the Nikon way but couldn't get accustomed to the differences. So I am sure I will be happy with Canon. I've even rented R6 Mk I and it was a great experience. I immediately felt in home.
