RF 24-240mm f/4-6.3 IS USM Lens
Product details
Web ID: 18572811Very good quality at an insane price point
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.

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

PERFECT walking around lens
THE ultimate ‘walking around lens.’ Shot this images in St. Augustine, FL. at the Alligator Zoological Park, many images in crop mode on my R5 mki.

Great all around lens
I keep this lens on my camera at all times unless I need something specific that’s out of its wheelhouse. Lightroom had an issue with lens correction for a minute with the weird stretch lines but it seems to be fixed now.

Great all around lens.
This lens is tack sharp, extremely lightweight and a bargain. You can use it for portraits and landscapes.

Good every day walk around lens.
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.

Pleasantly Surprised!
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?

Pleasantly surprised!
Bought the 24-240mm about 18 months ago. Being a superzoom, I didn't think it would have very good optical quality, but I was surprised! It works great! Looks great! I started to use it on jobs and no complaints. You do have to use the digital correction, without it the files don't look good. I sure wish it was 24-300mm but as it is, it's a (heavy) useful travel zoom! If I lost this lens, I would buy it again. IMHO people who complain about its design are not using it correctly. thanks for listening to my Ted Talk!
