I realise you posted your comment a while back but I thought it was still appripriate to comment.

I think there have been quite a few non-L Canon lenses that have very good image quality.

I think the L designation has more to do with build quality than image quality (I'm not suggesting this is official Canon policy... just an overall observation).

I think L lenses are designed primarily for professionals who require rugged, weatherproof lenses that can take years of use and abuse.

I'm saying this as I'm quietly hoping that the 24-240mm R lens will offer high quality optics at an affordable price (I'm an EOS RP owner who'sbeen lamenting the extra length and inconvenience of the R adapter - I keep taking the adapter off with the lens, then realise my mistake and have to take the adapter off the lens and put it back on the camera).
