Ive been shooting with the R5 for two years now mostly doing portraits with primes but I just got hit with a surprise travel gig in Norway and I leave in five days. I need one lens that can do it all because Im packing light and my logic was originally the 24-70 f2.8 but man that price tag is hitting $2300 right now and my budget is strictly $2k max. I was thinking maybe the 24-105 f4 L is the smarter play for the reach? But then Im worried about losing that stop of light for the landscape stuff. Im totally spinning here and need to buy something tonight so it ships in time. Does the 24-105 feel like a downgrade on such a high res sensor or is it the move?
imo the Canon RF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM is the smarter move for Norway. On the R5, that f4 stop doesnt hurt as much because the sensor handles high ISO well and the IBIS is solid for handheld landscapes. You get more versatility with that extra reach on the long end tho. Its sharp enough for the high res sensor. Plus it stays well under your budget.
