I bought this lens as a walkaround/travel lens and overall, am pleased with the results. I'm a bit disappointed with the vignetting at 24mm despite which aperture I'm using and the purple fringing around the likes of tree branches in high contrast conditions. I know these can be both corrected post process but for such an expensive lens, I thought these wouldn't be an issue. I suppose that's the price you pay for a 10x superzoom also a little disappointed that Canon don't bundle a lens cap with it like other manufacturer's do even with their less expensive lenses.

Canon only ships a hood with L lenses, been like that from the dawn or time. Also Canon DPP will work with the RF24-240 not just Adobe programs.

I really like this lens and I also gave it 4.5 on my Gear Page.

How many times have you printed a RAW file, its always converted to a JPG at some point. For me the ONLY thing that counts is the final product. I would think that in a few months just about every program like LR will have a 24-240 lens profile.

Like Scott said, setup LR to run the lens profile on import and you will never see the problem again. Did I say how much I liked his video, A BUNCH.

I wrote more than I meant to. TLDR: Love the RP and the 24-240 and DXO Photolab 2 has a very nice profile for the RP plus the 24-240 (just as Lightroom and DPP do) and thanks so much for those who pointed out the Scott Kelby video about the 24-240. Camera and lens profiles have come to add so much value to nearly any lens and body.
