I'm still reaching for the 135L for toasts, smaller ceremonies, and extreme compression posed work. The RF Big White is ... (yawn) Big White. Functional, not seductive (to my eyes). On our team is a copy of each EF version and I can see no strong difference editing on a 6k/218ppi monitor. I encourage photographers to upgrade their 70-200 last and I'm not 100% certain I'm going to keep the ƒ2.8 for the longhaul. The ƒ4 RF model also got a huge weight/size reduction now takes up the same bag space as a 35L II (with adaptor) !!! We have one out as a loaner that may come back to me before the end of the year.
I know the 135L is a 25+ year old optic, but it's the best of Canon's legacy glass. Whip snap AF, super sharp with just the smallest hint of purple/green fringe.
The RF 24-70L has a few surprises, but it's not the magic of the bigger ƒ2.0 mid-zoom. Of note, the new 24-70 does super helpful close focusing. Minimum focus distance got cut in half (wow). Helps a lot photographing 'stuff' on wedding day. Nikon's 24-70 S is really nice and the images are a joy to see — I'm not sure the Canon variant is in the same league, but it's early days. The 28-70 is the elephant in the room I'm going to ignore until next Spring (another year's capital expenditure - give my wallet a rest).
