Thanks Klaus, much appreciated. So, I’m trying to put together a lens collection to shoot family photography with a Canon R5. Which approach would you recommend? In light of your response and really helpful reviews, I was thinking about the following line up:
1. RF 50mm f1.2 L IS USM
2. RF 85mm f1.2 L IS USM
3. RF 24-105mm f4 L IS USM
The RF 50mm f1.2 and RF 85mm f1.2 would do the heavy lifting, while the RF 24-105mm f4 would give me some flexibility with focal length when necessary. Alternatively, I could remove the RF 24-105mm f4 (and perhaps the RF 50mm f1.2), and replace it with the RF 28-70mm f2 USM L. However, I wonder if the RF 28-70mm f2 will end up being too big / heavy to shoot with in practice. I’ve also shot with the RF 50mm f1.2 and really liked it. Thanks in advance for any insights / suggestions.
