Thinking Down the Road

Today is the release day for the new Canon RF 20-50mm f/4L IS USM PZ lens. I can't help but think about this lens as a potential single lens option even in the middle of a trip. 

I'm learning a few things about my current setup of 28-70mm f/2.8 and 16mm f/2.8. There is a lot of space between 16mm and 28mm, 16mm is wider than I'd like much of the time. And 28mm is not wide enough much of the time. Also, there aren't really any circumstances when 50mm isn't long enough but 70mm is long enough. 

I've used the 50mm f/1.8 STM lens some and yesterday decided to use it at f/4, the longest and fastest of the new PZ zoom. There are some image quality comparisons which include the new zoom already available including these two at f/4. Very similar, I think.
