This is my main workhorse of a lens and I love it. It's very light weight (only around 2.3 lbs) lens. I've been able to hand-hold it for an event that lasted for hours with occasional breaks and not feel like it was too much.
It's an external zoom, which bothers some people but I like the compactness. It can't be used with any teleconverters and that definitely hurts. But other than that this is one of the absolute best lenses I've used.
This camera is FANTASTIC. I'm a dog sports shooter, so very fast indoor action with a lot of obstacles to shoot in and around. This camera does a fantastic job tracking my subjects as they race around the course. It locks and and while it's not 100% perfect, it's really great.
The noise reduction (on low) does a great job of cleaning up some really high ISO (32k + ) photos that I shoot and you have so much control in how those JPGs come out.
Ergnomically this camera is great. Comfortable to hold and use. There are a lot of buttons to customize and a back wheel that allows me to keep ISO where I can make quick changes to it if needed.
The "lock" aspect is great. No more accidentally jostling the camera as you move around and changing settings!
The only con is the lack of a stacked sensor, meaning that there can be some rolling shutter effects if you're not careful how you shoot. But that's minor compared to everything else!
I have had this lens since it came out and it is my lightweight go to lens for walking around in the city and using my infrared-converted camera. It's a great little lens with a great zoom range that gives me surprising good quality. My biggest wish is that it would have a better closer minimum focusing range.
Huge zoom range (10X) can handle scenery, intimate shots, portraits
Excellent travel lens (carry one lens and one body)
Just zoom, compose and focus!
Cons
Not weather sealed (I don't usually choose to shoot in the rain)
Relies on computer to correct defects in iamges
I was fully prepared to not really like the Canon EOS RF 24-240mm lens, but I bought one on the used market because a friend was very pleased with it and I respect his opinion. He was right! I've used it on a RP (the garden landscape at 35mm), a R6 (the car tall fin detail at 100mm) and a R6 Mark 2 (my grandson's portrait at 240mm) ... versatile to say the least. Lightroom takes care of all the lens corrections required. I get to travel with one body and one lens. What's not to like?
