RF 24-240mm F4-6.3 IS USM Standard Zoom

Is there anything like this lens? A Full Frame, compact 10X modern zoom lens with fast stills and fast movie autofocus? The lens is a great walk around lens. Ignore the naysayers who aren't using the lens correctly. Load the proper lens profile and it's all good. This is not only an excellent lens but also another innovative lens from Canon. This lens, the compact 70-200 2.8 and 600/800 f11 lens made me realize Canon 'gets' mirrorless and was key to me switching from Nikon to Canon. Canon is just getting started!

I got this lens as part of the kit with an EOS RP and it is a fantastic lens for what it is, a wide focal length super zoom. You aren't going to get as razor sharp images during pixel peeking like a L glass lens, but it's darn impressive. Super fast AF, great automatic in camera (or, in canons DPP4 software) lens profiles that remove any issues regarding black edges, major distortion, and amazing chromatic aberration control. If you expect this to perform like a standard super zoom you will be blown away. It's the perfect all in one lens for canon mirrorless if you don't know exactly what the day might bring. At this price (especially in the kit with body), it's hard to recommend anything else.

I purchased this lens in August of 2024 and wanted to ride it hard before submitting a review. I have used this lens as an all day carry on my R6 MkII, R5 and R3 and it is always in my bag when I travel. I try to treat my equipment well but this lens has been in the field a ton and just performs! The focus system performs well under almost all circumstances but it will be challenged in low light due to the speed of the lens. If this lens was an f2.8 it would be brilliant. The color rendition has been much better then I expect and the lens overall remains sharp across the entire zone range. For a lens at this price point it is a pretty good lens.

Canon desperately needed a superzoom for their mirrorless cameras. I bought this new about 18 months ago. I didn't expect it to be very good, but it actually is! You have to use the digital corrections, files look wonky without it and I would be reluctant to use them without a lot of cropping. I do wish the lens went 24-300mm but OK. Yes the F/stops are slow but nowadays cameras like the R5, and R6 have no trouble focusing. If I lost this lens, I would buy another copy. Now, Canon, can we get some more wide angles?

I really like the range of the lens. It's going to replace my 24-105 lens. The only thing I highly dislike with the new lens is how you move between manual and auto focus. The new lens requires you to go into the menu to move between manual and auto focus which takes a lot of time. I like the old style where there's a button on the outside of lens to change from auto to manual focus.

I find this to be a good walk around lens as it is very adaptable for a wide variety of shots. It is significantly better than my old Canon EFS 18-200 that I used for years as a walk around lens. I've only been using it for a few weeks but am quite pleased with it's functionality so far.

Excellent lens but does lose focus occasionally. During a flying duck track, it did lose focus and had a hard time refocusing.

If I could give it a 3.5 I would. The lens is pretty sharp across the full range and that in itself is pretty amazing. I have two problems with this lens. First, is how slow it is. It is already down to a maximum aperture of f6.3 by around 110mm. The second this is the wide angle distortion which includes vignetting of the image corners, strong chromatic aberration, and near fisheye effect. If you use RAW image processing and your program doesn't have a lens profile that can be applied you may not be happy with this lens below 30 to 35mm. Without lens correction it has a full frame fisheye lens look to the images at 24. If it is a natural scene you won't notice it as bad as when you have vertical and/or horizontal lines in the image. I'll attach a couple of sample images taken with an EOS RP if it will allow the large size.

Not the clarity of my other Canon zoom lenses and the real down side is the "black corners" at wide angle with even just polarizing lens and worse yet with a collapsible rubber hood (totally collapsed), yet this was designed for a full frame camera? It also doesn't do well in low light conditions. The only benefit is has the new Canon mount so I don't have to use the adapter ring as with my older lenses....but for image quality my older lenses with the adapter give a far superior image, allow more light, and seem to autofocus better.

I purchased this lens along with a EOS R camera body. I wanted the camera and lens with the intention of using all the functions in the cameras menu. But I came to find out that you cannot, at least at this time, shoot multiple exposures with this lens on the EOS R body. I had to send it back and buy a different more expensive lens to start using my Canon camera and lens.
