My wife and I are on our last day of our trip to Sicily, Italy and she has given the executive approval to lighten the load in my backpack. My camera is the R6 Mkii and all of my lenses are ef mount, so I am open to ef as well as rf mounts. On this trip, I brought a Canon 16-35mm f4, a Tamron 24-70 f2.8 G2, and a Canon 70-200 f2.8 ii. Over the last 6 days I only thought about using the 70-200, but didn't because I wasn't in a place to easily take off my backpack and switch lenses. I feel like I wouldn't have needed more than 150mm max.

I used my 16-35 more than the 24-70.

I am open to 3rd party ef mount lenses. Any recommendations or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
 
The RF24-105 f4 will be the next lens I add but when I was looking at a versatile travel lens the RF24-240mm F4-6.3 IS USM fit the bill perfectly @ $1000.

I was a skeptic on the first run and brought my Rf24 - 70 as backup but now it stays home. At this price point it produces some very nice frames.

    Fast, sharp, and lightweight! A great lens
    This is my main workhorse of a lens and I love it. It's very light weight (only around 2.3 lbs) lens. I've been able to hand-hold it for an event...
