My wife wants to know what I want for my birthday since it's a big one. I thought about a RF lens or two for my R5, but I don't take as many pictures as I used to. Used to walk around the city but haven't done that in years. I have a few cheaper RF lenses and some excellent EF lenses but I'm tired of the adapter. I will list what I have and maybe you could suggest what EF lenses to sell and what RF you would recommend to buy. I just do general photography and my grandkids. My granddaughter who is 9 is into gymnastics and my grandson who is 6 is into any sport that makes him keep moving. I think baseball is his sport because of his hand eye coordination, smallish size and speed but I think he finds it too slow. Size and weight is becoming more and more important as I get older. Any way here's what I have and maybe suggest a 3 or 4 lens kit that would travel well since I recently retired.
EF 24-70 L II
EF 70-300 L
EF 135L
EF 16-35 f2.8 v1
EF 100L
EF 50 f1.2 L
RF 24-105 STM
RF 35 f1.8
I'd definitely use the f/2 on the 135 for your grandkids sports before doing anything on that one. 70-200/2.8 might be nice, a stop slower, though
The 16-35 v1 might need an update, depending on if you are actually having an iq problem with it, like people say. 24-70 ef v2 supposed to be excellent, still expensive.
Id rather have 100-400 or 70-300 but 2.8 is better indoors. 50/1.2 Rf apparently much better some like the EF 50/1.2 look though for portraits
