Hello. I have a Canon R5 with several lenses: EF 8-15 fisheye f4 (with RF adapter), RF 15-35 f2,8, RF24-70 f2,8, RF 70-200 f2,8, RF 100-500 and 1,4X extender.
I do astrophotography (Milky Way and Northen Lights) as well and nature, documentary/travel (meaning: street portraits, street scenes, ceremonies during my excursions, building, landscape).
In some travel situations bringing a number of lenses is just not practical (too heavy for my backpack, hassle to switch all the time lenses during an event/scenery, etc...).
So I think that buy also a multi-purpose lens might be a good idea (better than buy another camera body, which cost more money and will make my travel bag too heavy plus will make myself not conformable to walk around...).
So I am wondering what is, based on your experience, the best zoom lens (from wide angle to telephoto) I can get in the market? For best I mean: most bright, great sharpness, robust, possibly weather sealing, possibly light?
Based on my search, I came out with 3 possible options:
a. Sigma 18-300mm 3,5/6,3 DC Marco OS HSM Contemporary
b. Sigma 24-105mm f4 DG OS HSM
c. Canon RF 24-105 F4L IS USM
In principle, the option a is the best (wider and more telephoto too).... But what about overall image quality? As said, when I travel a bright lens, very precise and quick AF on different conditions, very sharp and possibly not too heavy to bring on a plane and to walk for several hours around a village, a city, a busy market or a forest in Amazzonia or Indonesia what I need.
Your option is very much appreciated.
TIA.
