Hello my friends,
I am leaving for a 2 week family holiday in UK later this week. As my walking ability is currently compromised I am planning to take my Canon R along for the ride and hope to spend some time taking photographs and keeping out of the way of the more active members of the family. As a property photographer I have my trusty 16-35 Ef F4 typically attached. However I do have another 2 lenses that I have barely used - RF 24-105 F4 and my RF 50mm F1.8.
If I was to take just one lens along with me, which should it be? Subjects will be family, scenery and architecture.
As always keep safe

While I generally like to go as wide as possible, if I had to take just one lens it would probably be the 24-105. Although...I might be tempted to stick the more compact 50mm f/1.8 in my pocket in case I needed the speed.
With my current stable it would probably be the 24-85 AF-S VR Nikkor...with the 50mm f/1.4 AF-D Nikkor in my pocket.
I'd leave the 50 home and bring the other two. Maybe the 24 - 105mm would be enough.
With your stated interests I'd do the short zoom and probably the 50mm for low light.

24-105 for sure. As for low light situations ... isn't that what the ISO adjustment is for?

I vote for the 24-105 too.
Not familiar with the R. If it's full frame, I'd take the 24-105 no debate. would give you decent, not great, wide angle and decent tele.

25-105. But if you have the room, is take the 50 too.

If you will be photographing in the different cathedrals, museums, etc. f/4 probably won’t be fast enough, so the 50mm f/1.8 would be best in that situation. Otherwise the 24-105mm would be the way to go.
If your walking is limited, use the zoom. With a prime like the 50, you'd have to zoom with your feet.
