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.

IQ wise I'd say the 50mm and 35mm aren't hugely better, if at all,  than the 24-240mm at those focal lengths. Not enough to trade.

But they are very much faster. So if that matters, and is a limited factor, then yes, sell the 124-240.
