What is the best all-around zoom lens for the Canon EOS R5 Mark II that wont break my back? Im upgrading from an old 5D and finally pulled the trigger on the Mark II for a trip to the Swiss Alps next month. I've been looking at the RF 24-70mm f2.8 since everyone says it is the gold standard but then I saw some reviews for the 24-105mm f4 and people are saying the extra reach is better for hiking and travel.
Im worried about the weight of the 2.8 for long days but I also do a lot of low light street photography in the evenings. The price difference is okay since I already spent a fortune on the body but I just want one lens that stays on 90% of the time. Does the Mark II's IBIS make the f4 usable for low light or should I just suck it up and carry the heavy 2.8...
Honestly, if you're heading to the Swiss Alps, you want the Canon RF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM. I have been using this setup for a while and I am incredibly satisfied with the results. The extra reach at the long end is massive when you are trying to frame those distant peaks without trekking another three miles. Here is how I see the trade-off based on my time with the R5 series:
