If this is all you did before writing it off then you are the very person I am referring to. Saying it is an APS-C lens stretched to a FF shows your lack of knowledge about this lens. Once off 24mm the corner corrections aren't needed and the lens performs very well. Maybe you missed this part of its ability. I have one, use it often and it is far from "not that bad" for what situations it can cover. It is actually surprisingly good.

Agreed indeed! Besides, it's DANG sharp in the center 1/3 of the image no matter what focal length you're using. If one is super picky (and I am) and they are looking for a "landscape perfection" lens then sure, ante up for a RF24-70 f2.8L IS USM and you're there. I happen to have one of those to. But it's a lot more fun to run around with that "all in wonder" RF24-240 if you're traveling light and don't want extra lenses to bother changing. In the end if you're going to print a 13x19 out of it or even resize the image for a full size view on a screen it has no glaring issues. But oh so many are hung up on that 100% pixel peep view they never appreciate it's "real world" value

Name the gear and I've probably owned it and used it.
