This really is a nice lens. Great IQ, great build and light weight. I also have the RF24-105f4 like you, very nice combo.

The 24-105 is probably what will live on my R5 most of the time, but will pull this out for those times I need a bit more reach and compression. I love that it's so small and light, thus easy to carry.  My one disappointment with this lens - can't use an extender!

The other lens I mentioned that I bought, the 85mm f/2, just arrived today. With the money I saved getting the 70-200 f/4 vs the f/2.8, I was able to get this 85 refurbished and still have money left over.  My one disappointment with this lens - it didn't come with a hood!

Here's my very first shot with the new 85 f/2.

Our Husky, Luna. I got down on the floor at her level. 85mm f/2 1/125th, ISO 5000
