Canon RF 24-105 F4 is
I have owned the ef version for over 15 years. This one about one year. It has preformed flawlessly for me. Focus is fast and accurate. Color and sharpness are very good. The build is solid. I like the compact size.

Build Quality - Initial Impression
I recently moved up from a 5D Mk 3 with an EF 24-105 L4 lens to an R5 Mk 2 with the RF-24-105 L4. The first thing that I noticed about the lens was all of the plastic in the build of the lens. My old EF 24-105 lens was a very stout lens with a metal body. I dropped the old lens once and Canon repaired the lens and it has served me well for over 12 years. Darn near bulletproof. I don't have the same confidence in a plastic lens. I expected more for the money spent on the lens and camera. Time will tell if this lens can equal its predecessor.

It’s a Goldilocks lens: not to wide, not to narrow; just right!
Shooting distance not focal length controls near far perspective (apparent size of nose vs ears and near/far eyes in oblique poses) with focal length dictating in camera crop. Most faces are flattered most shooting in the 8 - 10 ft range and a 24-105mm allow shooting crops from full-length portrait or small group landscape to tight individual head shots in camera from the same distance with exactly the same facial rendering with a full-frame sensor. A 24-70mm works fine in that regard on an APS-C body but will require moving in closer and distorting perspective to get tight headshot crops in camera. For photojournalism the RF24-105 combined with the RF10-20 f/4 and RF100-500mm f/4.5 - 7.1 is a ideal “holy trinity” combination without a gap in the 71-104 range which is ideal for H&S and tighter photos of people and pets. It’s the ideal range is ‘walking around’ lens, even better if using two R6mkII bodies with a shoulder harness as I do. It is the perfect “Goldilocks” lens: not to short, not to long; just right!

A Supurb lens
Been using this lens for about 6 months - traded my older EF 24-105 to get the R version. Lighter and throughout the lens.

Love the lens BUT 1 issue
I've been a Canon customer for over 20 years, from the 40d thru my first mirror-less 6D mark 2. This lens is the best ever! Image sharpness and built-in stablization. My only issue is that the zoom ring is fairly tight compared to all my EF lens. No a big issue though. I'm hoping it gets freer over time.

L series image quality at a fair price.
This lens took a little time to get used to for me. I haven't figured out a "magic formula" yet so I continue to adjust shutter and ISO to play with exposures at the fixed f4 aperture. But over time I have dialed it in and RAW files edited in LR and excellent. It does everything from action to portrait to macro and more.

This lens has become my all around workhorse.
I saw people raving over this lens on YouTube. The fact that it was L glass with an f4 but performed way better than expected. So I took a chance and bought it. No regrets.... It has become my own workhorse. Pretty much made my 50 worthless. I just got back from a 4 week Italy trip. I used it for food, landscape, stars, coastline and sunrise and sunsets. I never once questioned if I needed a better lens. When photographing the ancient ruins in Rome and Pompeii it was perfect. I could pick just the right zoom and depth in the photo. Really don't pass this up for the price.

Amazing Lense
I've been using this lense for 9 months now. I've used from everyting from astrophtography to sports photography. It is an amazingly fast and sharp lense. It's been in the heavy snow, pouring rain, and subzero temperatures in the Rocky Mountains.
