Finally upgraded to the R6 Mark II for my kids soccer games and our big Japan trip next month. I keep seeing the 24-105mm f/4 L recommended but i heard it sucks indoors, then some say the 35mm is better but i dont want to be swapping constantly. Budget is tight under $1000 now... what is the best do it all lens for this body?

Honestly, i went through this exact same thing when i got my R6 II last year. If you are worried about the budget and need to cover soccer plus a Japan trip, I have been really satisfied with the Canon RF 24-240mm f/4-6.3 IS USM. It basically never leaves my camera because it covers everything.
- Range: That 240mm reach is a lifesaver for soccer games when the kids are way across the field.
- Budget: You can usually find it for around $900, sometimes even less if you buy it refurbished from Canon directly which saves a ton.
- Low light: The R6 II handles noise so well that the slower aperture at the long end isnt a dealbreaker for me indoors. I am super happy with how my travel shots look with this setup. If you really want that constant aperture, the Canon RF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM is awesome but usually pushes $1300 new. Definitely check for used deals to stay under that $1000 mark tho.
