Not used the 24-70 yet, in fact, I've just swapped the 24-70/24-240 for an RF 24-105 and Canon 70-300L, got too many lenses (if that's even possible!) As the 24-70 was an F/4, I feel I'm gaining on the extra focal length of the RF24-105 especially with the 5 stop IS over the 4 stop on the 24-70, good for my weddings. Plus I'm just getting into wildlife photography so wanted the extra 60mm over the 24-240 with the 70-300L. Absolutely nothing wrong with the 24-240 or 24-70 just my personal needs have changed plus I've read great reviews on the RF 24-105 from other wedding photographers. Bonus is I've not spent any more money changing my kit, in fact I've gained a little bit. I'm hopefully settled with what I've got but there again show me any photographer who has the perfect kit.

I had the 70-300L, but never carried it. Too heavy, and no appreciable increase in IQ over the 70-300 II. My basic kit now is the 24-105 and 70-300 II. Pretty light and very capable.
