Big congrats man!

At that point the idea of having time to spend on a forum is just an assumption. Hurry up.

Order that body + 24-70mm f/2.8 today, you can always add primes later on.

That’s indeed the lens I would recommend.

I prepared the order to send it tomorrow. I will buy R6 Mk II with RF 24-105mm F4.0 plus RF 50 mm F1.2.

Set aside another $200 for DxO Photolab to process the high ISO’s.

Additionally I will buy 2x 128GB Kingston Canvas React Plus, unless someone will tell me it's a bad option. Or maybe I should buy 2x 256GB, but that seems too much?

A couple of 128 GB cards would usually be sufficient (unless you’re doing a ton of 4k). My own preference is the Sony Tough UHS-II.

Plus 2x B+W UV-FILTER MRC nano MASTER 77mm as protection. It shouldn't be a degradation of IQ, right?

My choice of filters too, but I hardly ever use them. Kids do poke and throw stuff, so it’s your choice.

And Peak Design Everyday Messenger 13 l, i hope it will have enough room for my set?

Tomorrow is the day!

Nice bag. It looks good in the tweed fabric. RF 50 f1.2 would be a fine walk around lens. Your shots will have a different/special look than the run of the mill cell phone or 50mm f1.8.

Think Tank bag. Peak Design and Think Tank is crazy flexible configuration, and pockets everywhere. One of these two lenses is my typical walk around lens.

I have this bag too (Think Tank Retro 20 v2). Holds my R6ii + RF 28-70 f/2 + RF 70-200 f/2.8 usually. Messenger type bags are great as a walk around “working” bag, but the design is IMHO very (too) limited for carrying a bunch of gear. (OP), I’d rethink this if it’s going to be an “only” or main bag.
