Instead of pairing a standard zoom lens with a mediocre prime lens whose focal length is already within the zoom range, it might be better to use a smaller, lighter 24-70 (which already offers plenty of versatility) and pair it with a prime lens that has a longer focal length. There are plenty of options here—from the 105/2.8 MC (yes, it’s not small, but it’s a 1:1 macro) to the Viltrox 85/2 EVO, depending on your shooting needs. Or even a 135/1.8 Plena, which lets you do things you can only dream of with the 24-120/4… but that’s in a whole different price range.
