Surprised the 24-240 is so much better given it need much more distortion/vignetting correction than the 24-105 and it has more than double the range.

I've not noticed such a large disparity between 24-105 and 24-240 except at the wide and. 24-105 is very good from 35-105. But certainly can't recommend it for WA landscapes

Interesting. Thanks. I was planning to get the 24-105 as a lightweight throw in the bag option when the primary objective was nature and wildlife where I carry the RF 800. Looks like I will have to lug the 24-240mm. I like the images I get out of the 24-240 however it is a bit on the heavier side relatively speaking. I usually end up carrying my 17-40 adapted as it weighs about same (feels a lot lighter in real life for some reason). Volume wise 17-40 adapted and 24-240 are almost similar in regards to backpack volume
