I use a R5 with a 50/2.0, 90/2.0, 135 /2.8, 180/4.0.;A few weeks ago i sold my old 2,8/35 to buy a new (oldmodel) 2,8/28 (for about $900). Im very happy with that lenses. Espescially for all purpose shooting the shorter ones 24, 21 and lower are not very usefull because of the angel is to far to see natural perspective. The shorter ones are good for landscape with special effects.
