Pros: Weight, size, sharpness

Cons: Nothing apart from the f/2.8 but otherwise it wouldn't be so small and light.

Opinion: I used it for years on 6D, 6D2 and 5D4 and now on R6 it has always given me excellent results. Put aside several times in favor of other brighter ones like 24/1.4 L II and Sigma 24/1.4 Art and just as many times pulled out of the pile. Even with the necessary EF-RF adapter it maintains unbeatable size and weight and, once you realize that you have taken very few shots with the 24mm at apertures wider than f/2.8, you are preferred. The sharpness, obviously comparable only from f/2.8 onwards, is the same as the other two most emblazoned. Unlike the 35mm it didn't make me prefer the only available 24mm of the RF series so I keep this one.

Pros: Sharpness, colors, stabilizer, lightness, construction, minimal focus, blurry.

Cons: Light flare backlight

Opinion: Let's start with the only defect: the resistance to flare in the backlight. Compared to my previous landscape lens, the 17-40 f/4 L, this 24mm doesn't show equal ability to handle strong frontal illuminations. It's not bad, but the 17-40 was definitely better. The nature of the 24mm f/2.8 IS is another. It's travel reportage. Between the super sharpness at any aperture, the exceptional stabilizer and its lightness, typical of fixed lenses, not excessively bright, make it the ideal lens to take around the world.

Pros: Robust, compact, fast autofocus, sharpness, price

Cons: flare and chromatic aberration

Opinion: bought used by a user here on juza a couple of years ago in the last year has basically become the main optics with which I shoot being focused on real estate photography, nothing to say about sharpness as confirmed by other reviewers is magnificent, used with the 6d autofocus with focus in the center is almost instantaneous in all conditions, while in other places it often struggles , but there the problem I think is more to the outdated technology of the 6d. The only sore notes I often detect are an annoying chromatic aberration in the parts a little more overexposed and flare in some conditions despite the lampshed, reading the other reviews I see that no one has complained of chromatic aberrations so I wonder if it is I who have exaggerated pretensions or if it is my faulty model, in any case nothing that is not easily recoverable in post production. For those of us who do not have ample financial resources, this objective turns out to be a magnificent compromise with a view to more demanding future purchases

Pros: Exceptional sharpness

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: Optical with a sharpness (from f 4 onwards) that I have never seen with any other optics. Really great value for money. Small, light, but very robust and very discreet, the stabilizer compensates for its low brightness and also helps a lot for videos. Great for landscape and street. Instead of the usual zooms it helps you think and move your feet before shooting.

Pros: Excellent f4 sharpness, good at full aperture, interesting focal point for reportage-street-landscape

Cons: It needs practice to take advantage of it, but it does have good results once you've learned how to do it

Opinion: On this point I can say that it was love and hate at the same time, just bought after a week I wanted to sell it, but then just done a bit of practice made me think. At F4 the sharpness is excellent, 2.8 good, it is useful, the construction more than good from a feeling of robustness, quite compact. A good compromise between portability and quality (which is still medium-high). The only thing I'm being told is that it's not very easy to use because it forces you to better study the photo you want to do than a More "normal" focalty type 35-40 or 50mm. But for so many may be a good thing, you do not have to give up :-)
