I think the trick here is balancing the bag with 1 or 2 of these GMs and than add in your small primes like a 15,21,35,50 Loxia set of sorts. At first I was buying this 24-70 more for PR but also to fill the gap between 21 and 50. Now given its quality horsepower one has to ask the question do you fill in all the holes with some primes or maybe just add a few since this seems to maybe beat up a few primes. For me the 15, 21 will cover that 16-35 zone and I actually prefer all manual focus here. Even though I have my 15 listed I will get the E version for sure and I should replace my Loxia 50 so I would have 3 small primes just to kick around without bringing the zoom but on serious landscape adventure throw the zoom in for sure. I\'m seeing a lot more dual use here than what I original thought. Folks let me tell y\'all I\'m not the biggest zoom guy anyway. Because none of them where ever better than any prime in the old days. Their maybe a change in the wind with this lens for me.obviously we need to see more and I will start some testing next week but what Fred has posted here is pretty damn good.
