First shots (RF 24-240 + EOS R)
10

It's quite capable in good light. Can't find a bad corner or optical woe, anywhere, either.

But, in low-light, I tested it against my RF 35mm f/1.8 IS STM and G5X Mark II, and they both blow it out of the water in both focusing performance and end result. The former I understand, but the latter? I'll say I highly recommend you pair the RF 24-240, if you get one with an RP kit, with an RF 35mm if you plan to use it indoors / low light, for a 1-2 punch combo. Or something faster. The reach indoors is nice, but when the light goes down, it hunts (in AF), fair warning.

More thoughts and shots coming, no hurry this round though... May be a while before I phone back in... The G5X II has been most impressive which I also just got.
