Pros: Focal range, dimensions/weight

Cons: Yield at the edges, 24mm so-so, 240mm a little soft, not very bright and cost.

Opinion: It is a fairly compact size lens for a 10x. The yield in the center is good, at 24 it loses a lot at the edges: deactivating the lens profile on camera raw you notice a lens wider than 24, a little fisheye, which is stretched and cropped by the software correction to obtain the final result that we are used to seeing. Between 50 and 100mm is pretty good; between 100 and 150mm gives its best, from here on it starts to drop until it becomes a little soft at 240mm. From my impressions in the wide focal lengths this super-zoom is poorer than the various 24-70/105 but at 70 and 105 beats them being halfway through its excursion. The convenience, however, is that compared to them the 24-240 reaches much further .. it's like having a normal zoom and a tele-zoom combined. I did some tests comparing with the 24-75 of the Panasonic lx100 (which I use on a trip) and beats it despite the greater focal range. Obviously it helps the FF sensor of the R against the 4/3 of the compact. Being a fairly dark zoom in the evening outings with the tip and shoot you go up a lot of ISO: I recommend for this to bring a tripod or flank a bright fixed. In my opinion it is the ideal optics for travel / trip because being able to shoot between 24 and 240 without changing lens is priceless! Being a handyman I also tried it in portrait and at the focal canvases manages to blur despite the dark diaphragm isolating the model. I am combining it with my set of fixed for travel use, reducing the use of the compact to the bare minimum, to take more advantage of the EOS R.

Pros: Versatility, more than discreet optical yield discreet at all focal lengths, surprising for a super zoom

Cons: Reduced brightness, lack of hood, mandatory digital correction at 24mm, at 240 mm lower yield than shorter focal lengths, lack of any form of tropicalization

Opinion: Taken for a landscaping workshop with the intention of reselling it as soon as I could take the RF 24-105 L, unavailable at the time. The problem is that compared with other lenses (EF 35mm f2 IS, EF 50mm f1.8, EF 70-200 F4 IS L) and with the same RF 24-105mm F4 L on Canon EOS R, well the RF 24-240mm is not bad at all: it managed to undermine my prejudices about super zooms. Certainly it does not have the same performance as fixed focal lengths, certainly zooms with lower excursion are better, but the differences are no longer as macroscopic as they used to be. Even compared to the RF 24-105 mm F4 L the differences are not huge. The resolution in the center is more than decent on all focal lengths, at the extremes of the range (24 and 240 mm) are the edges to suffer a little. In the central focal lengths the situation is not bad, so for example at 105 mm at TA I can not say that the RF 24-105 mm L is better, indeed: at 105mm the 24-105mm is at the upper limit (which in itself has a lower yield than the shorter focal lengths, at least on my specimen), while the 24-240 is in an intermediate area of its range, where he gives the best of himself. Even when compared to the EF 70-200mm F4 IS L the differences, in the equivalent focal lengths, are not evident except when comparing the images at 100% or 200%, with the advantage of the edges for the EF 70-200 F4 IS L. For design choice it is necessary to use the digital correction of geometric distortion (otherwise enormous) and 24mm vignetting, a choice that obviously penalizes the yield at the edges. The color rendering is good, as well as the contrast. Effective stabilizer. The prerogative of having in a single lens a wide range of focal lengths, with a weight contained in 750g is a huge advantage, especially when traveling or hiking; In such situations, often not having to change the optics is also an advantage, limiting the dirt that ends up on the sensor. In this regard, the lack of any form of tropicalization is an important limitation. The biggest problem I've encountered is the limited brightness that pushes to use high ISO (especially at longer focal lengths, f 6.3 at 240mm!), and this reduces the image quality in low light more than the resolution limits. For the purchase price (1000 and more €) the lack of the hood is scandalous. Moral: not only did I not resell it, but very often it takes the place in the outputs of the RF 24-105mm F4 L.

Pros: Very versatile and lightweight.

Cons: Diaphragms that force you to use ISO cars recklessly

Opinion: Used as a forklift for 10 days waiting for another lens. I was surprised at the lightness and optical hike. Also shot the interior with ISO up to 6400 with RP, the results were good. For outdoor shots it shows its true value, excellent colors and details. An optics to keep as a reserve of the L series, or on trips to unpleasant places.

Pros: Versatility, good image quality to be a 10x. makes it better in canvases than in wide-angle. acceptable size and weight.

Cons: lack of the standard lampshade. On a cost of 1000 euros we could put that piece of plastic of the lampshade , it is not made of gold!

Opinion: Taken from a couple of days and tried on the fly with mundane photos just to compare it with RF 24-105. I must say that I expected worse for a 10x , in direct comparison with RF 24-105 loses quality at the edges in the focal courts, but not dramatic. Very good yield to the long focal points, compared with the EF 70-200 f4 is last series holds him almost head. the problem is that you have to use the new digital photo professional of canon because at the moment the raw files on raw camera are not correct , you can use but for example at 24mm you see at the corners angry the edges of the lens. in Practice shows a photo more than 24mm than the same in jpeg. More information will follow in the field. But it's crazy to go out with the only car around your neck with a lens that does pretty much everything, leaving the heavy duffel bag at home. It's only been a few days and the raw camera update has arrived, I say right away that it's a strange thing, applying the lens data corrects well and the black corners disappear, but giving the correction 100% on the distortion that makes the photo change a lot, but straightens the lines to perfection. With other 24 mm lenses you do not see the black corners even without applying the correction. Boh...... However, I confirm the decent overall quality. He loses a bit of sharpness at the edges in the focal courts, but I'm a good judge. Going around without the heavy duffel bag pleases me and I think in the end that if you don't have to do professional photos for advertising can go well. Ps tried at a wedding for the outside....... Never had so much fun! Great result!
