Why not just switch to Sony altogether? You only have 3 RF lenses and probably using an adapter for the EF lenses. What’s keeping you in the Canon camp? If I were you I’d sell all the Canon gear and invest in something like the A7IV and keep your A7C for travel. Then start to replace what lenses you need from your Canon setup. I own the version I of the 16-35 GM and it’s great. Recently I tested out the 16-35 GM II and I highly recommend it. It’s light, sharp and balanced well. I used it on an A7CR and it was great. Not trying to be condescending but just trying to offer practical advice.
Thanks! I really only have 5 reasons for sticking with my old Canon gear:
1. If I sell all of it, I wouldn't get enough for it to replace it with similar Sony options.
2. I use my Canon gear for local (non-travel) shooting; backyard wildlife, macro, family pics, etc. My Sony A7c is primarily for travel. Also, I didn't mention it originally, but I still have my old Canon 7dmk2. It's still an amazing camera for wildlife and sports shooting.
3. Ergonomics. I absolutely love the way Canon bodies fit perfectly in my hands!
4. I like to keep my options open with two main systems in case one of them comes out with either an amazing camera or lens. I used to also own a Nikon full frame dslr with lenses, but decided to stick with the top two camera manufacturers (Canon and Sony) after Nikon rendered my entire collection of AF-D lenses obsolete and virtually unusable when they changed to their new Z mount.
5. I tried stiicking with one system last year when I sold all my Sony gear, but ended up regretting it.
That makes sense, I get it. I too really like Canon ergonomics and the colors straight out of camera look great. If you enjoy being in two systems, nothing wrong with that. What about the Sony 20mm f/1.8 for the A7C for travel, covering your wide option? I find it to be perfectly wide enough and great for low light. It also takes filters and is not too heavy or big and perfectly balances on an A7C.
