EOS R8 lens recommendations for portraits, travel, and landscapes

I’m looking to buy an R8 with my first lens(s) Priority is portability but also quality would be nice too. What would be best out of these starting options? I would mainly be using for portraits of family, pictures of my son, some travel and landscapes. Thanks!

-RF 24-105 F4-7.1 + RF 35mm F1.8 -RF 24-105 L F4 ( I like the lens but think it may be a bit large for being super portable) -RF 28-70 2.8 (expensive and I’m not sure if I would miss out on the extra range for versatility)

Hey dholaba1, welcome to the forum.

Have you looked at or given any consideration to the RF24-240mm F4-6.3 IS USM. At $900 it is a fairly versatile lens with decent IQ. These were both shot using an R6 MkII and the 24-240mm. Both images had to be reduced to post on the site. If you click on the images you will be able to see an improved preview.
