The Canon 28-70/2 sounds great on paper and I'm sure it's a great lens but considering it's heavier than the Sony 100-400 GM, I would much prefer carrying faster primes like the FE 24/1.4 GM and FE 50/1.4 ZA (or 55/1.8) instead. Not only it's a cheaper proposition, it would make my bag lighter without sacrificing IQ.
Interesting. I already find my 100-400mm GM lens is too heavy: it is not suitable for long hikes. It is not suitable to be put in a carry-on bag on flights because it adds so much weight to the bag, the check-in staff may complain my carry-on is too heavy. There is no way I want a midrange zoom being that heavy and to gain what? Only one extra f-stop. I just checked the Canon 50mm f1.2 RF lens is also quite heavier than the Sony Planar 50mm f1.4 which is already a very heavy lens (among normal lenses).
