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.

The primes are better in low light, but the 24-240 has the USM focusing motor, both faster and quieter than the STM motors found in the non-L primes.

I find for family stuff, the 24-240 with a speed light is up to the task, even in low light.  I used that this Christmas so I could zoom what I needed and bounced the flash off the ceiling for good results without the annoying flash shadows.  Using the 430 RT IIi.

I have the 35 f/1.8 and 85 f/2.0, but stuck with the24-240 mostly.
