honestly im kinda losing my mind with this setup. just dropped way too much money on the r5 mark ii and i thought the 24-105 f4 would be enough but it feels so sterile and the low light is driving me crazy when im indoors.
im heading to tokyo in like three weeks and i really dont want to be lugging around a massive 28-70 f2 even though the shots are nice. i need something that actually feels good to use every day without breaking my back or making me regret the purchase. budget is around 2k but i can stretch it if it actually solves my problem. what is the best everyday lens for the canon eos r5 mark ii that isnt a total brick...
I would suggest the Canon RF 24-70mm f2.8L IS USM. You might want to consider the weight, but it definitely solves that low light issue you're having with the f4.
Oh man I totally feel your pain on this! I was in the exact same boat when I first started with my gear and honestly it was so frustrating. I took an f4 lens to a friends party and it was just a total nightmare because everything came out grainy and dark... I learned my lesson the hard way lol. It was rough. I honestly think youre gonna love having something faster for Tokyo because those neon lights look amazing with a bit of background blur! Here is what I figured out after carrying way too much stuff for a week:
