Hi! I'm about to get a lens for my R and 16-35/4 setup. Quite tempted with the L, but maybe the 10x zoom is not that bad. Long reach is something I like to have, but I can not sacrifice the quality on the 24mm that I'm going to probably use a lot despite having wide angle as second one. It's not only about the sharpness cause I value good contrast a lot and what I saw in YT the 24-105 will suit me, I'm not sure about the other one.
Any advices?
Thanks!
Well I've owned both. 24-240mm is pretty good, if you use software with a proper lens profile. But the weak points are at both ends. 24mm is pretty mediocre due to the massive corrections needed. It's not "bad", but it isn't at the 24-105 level. And The 24-240mm gets fairly week past about 150mm. I stuck with the 24-105L because it is very consistently good through the range. 24-240 going from mediocre at wide end, to stellar in mid range, to mediocre at long end.
