Fast, sharp, and lightweight! A great lens
Pros
  • Fast autofocus
  • Lightweight for the type of lens
  • Compact lens
Cons
  • External zoom (if that bothers you)
  • Cannot be used with any teleconverters
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.

Fantastic sport camera
Pros
  • Fast and accurate autofocus
  • Comfortable ergnomics
  • Plenty of customizable buttons and dials
  • Fantastic SOOC JPGs
  • File size when using CRAW (and no lost data!)
  • No fear of shooting high ISO with this camera
Cons
  • No stacked sensor (rolling shutter)
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!

A good lens for what it does, with it's drawbacks
Pros
  • Small
  • lightweight
  • Surprisingly good photo quality
  • Great for travel
  • Very small hot spot when used with infrared
  • Large zoom range
Cons
  • not weather sealed
  • No macro capability
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.

Exceeded My Expectations
Pros
  • 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?

Excellent Standard Lens for Full Frame RF Mount Cameras
Pros
  • Light and small (305 grams) Pretty affordable at $449 regularly.
  • Accurate focusing
  • Excellent stabilization, with or without IBIS
  • Wide aperture helps produce nice background separation
  • Sharp even wide open
  • Considering the image quality, quite inexpensive
Cons
  • None really, except it's not weather sealed.
I've used this great little lens on a RP, R6 and a R6 Mk 2 and been pleased with its performance on all three bodies. It's ideal for portraits that show people in the context of their surroundings. The wide aperture allows separation of subject and background. Works well in low light. I have shown an image from each full frame camera on which I have mounted it. I'll be interested to see how it performs on my new R7 crop sensor body.
