I'm about to purchase a R6 (upgrade from a 5D Mark III) and looking at lens choices. I had a lot of my EF lenses stolen so I'm expecting to start new and not get an adapter.
I largely shoot travel/landscape photography but am going to start trying to do some (kids) sports and general photography. All non commercial.
I'm going on a safari (holiday of a lifetime type situation) in a few weeks so am upgrading partly for that.
The lens I am most keen on are:
RF 100-500mm F4.5-7.1 L IS USM
RF 14-35mm F4 L is USM
Which covers landscape and wildlife for safari; at which point I'm reaching my budget for expensive lenses.
I'm more struggling on what else to get in the middle.
The kit lens seems to be very good value so one thought is to get that, it does not seem worth paying the additional for the Canon RF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM which might be a natural 3 zoom lens kit.
Part of me is wondering if instead of the kit lens I get the Canon RF 24–240mm F4-6.3 is USM its clearly not as good as the 100-500 and there is some duplication; but might be an "ok at a lot" lens for general walk around or kids stuff when I don't want to be taking the 100-500 with me - so becomes the lens that means I take the camera with me more.
And then that leaves a gap for perhaps an expensive prime 50mm when budget allows.
Any other suggestions?
