It is pity, by the way, there is currently (as of early 2020) no other consumer lens between 24-105 and 24-240 in the RF lineup. Something like 24-160/4-6.3

Canon has not made a zoom lens near that range in recent history. Not sure your disappointed there isn’t a lens made just for you you could get the old, soft 28-135 IS and use an adapter

If something was not done previously, it does not mean it can't be made at all. Besides, we already have a plethora of 18-xxx zooms for APS-C sensors, which are indeed in this focal range if only for a different sensor format. Also we have an ancient Canon EF 28-200mm 3.5-5.6 witch weighted only 500g. I'd love to see it reincarnated with a modern tech! But I understand that Canon can not magically produce dozens of lenses at once to satisfy all customer desires. If we look in the past, we can realize that major lens companies can produce around 10 lenses per year at most. And with new 24-105/4-7.1 and 24-240/4-6.3 Canon already covered most bases for casual shooters. So, I am afraid I have to wait really long until something like 24-160 appears. If at all.
