I have loved my RF 24-240 as a general all around lens. It has been great to take hiking and when I can't carry more than one lens with me. I used it extensively about a month ago and then tucked it away in it's bin waiting for another outing. That outing came a few days ago.
I put it on my RP (Full spectrum conversion) and had a 590 nm drop in filter over the sensor. I downloaded the images and noticed a strange pixel smearing all along the edges of the images. At first I thought it was the camera and the conversion but then I tried different lenses on the camera and they were fine. Then I tried the 24-240 on the R5 and still had the problem.
Called Canon, they had "never heard of anything like this" so I've sent it in for repair and I'll have to send them the raw images from both cameras when I get a repair order number from them. Has anyone seen anything like this before? One is a 100% crop of the lower border of an image,

And with the recent update to PS and LR the problem is now gone.
