I have an R5 and a 5D Mark IV. I have an EF 24-70mm f/4 and Sigma EF 14-24mm f/2.8. I have so far only used the R5 for wildlife with the 100-500mm, but would like to get one or two other lenses to cover wider angles. I've been happy with the EF lenses I currently have. However, I need to be able to use both cameras simultaneously for an upcoming project so an adapter won't work for me.
I enjoy landscape photography as well as architecture and street photography, particularly at night. I travel quite a bit so lighter is nicer, but I don't mind weight if it means a superior lens. I'm also going to be shooting some interviews so am looking for a lens that would also be good for that. I would like to keep the price under $2500 (per lens, if getting two would be the better option).

I got the RF 14-35 f/4L IS USM lens and love it. It is much lighter than the 15-35 f/2.8L, more compact and cheaper, and IMHO there is not much between the optics, and at the wide end, 1mm can make a difference. Also, the 14-35 lens will take a conventional 77mm filter without an adapter, which is great if you want it for specific effects like ND or CPL.
