Hi Team,

I got eos rp with 24-240mm in blackfriday deal eos rp and lens for 1037including tax (moved from nikon fullframe d750 to mirrorless canon )

getting the camera via friend in usa am from india. lot of negative reviews for the lens with vignette and crop. keh takes the lens for 540

should i sell the lens and get a 50mm or 35mm prime

planning to setup canon mirrorless setup will get r5 after a year is it a good lens to the setup or should i take up the trade

im mostly in to portrait photography and landscape at times or should i keep the lens its worth for 500$ kindly help me

any help will be greatly appreciated kindly excuse the bad English and grammar.

Very interesting thread with already al lot of answers of real 24-240mm users. I am struggling with the same (or opposite) questions: I have an RP. What to buy first?

1/ The 35mm f/1.8 IS STM? Because it is good.

2/ The 24-105 STM? To go small and light, and to have the flexibility of zoom.

3/ Or the 24-240 USM? Because I read often that is is "better" than the 24-105 STM. More range and better f. But also larger and more weight? So my question?  How is the weight  and how does it handle on the RP? That 24-240. And compared to the 24-105 STM?

My personal preference is the 24-240, according to what I read. But the 24-105 is tempting because of the half price. And the 35 because of the good IQ and f/1.8 for indoor.   #difficult
