Portrait and landscape?

Why not the 24-105 F4L ?

Wider end for landscapes if you need it. 35-105 for portraits...

F4 is not 2.8 or 1.8, but will still get the job done.

Because the OP picked up the whole kit (camera included) for a little over a grand and appears to be shopping for something they can get for less than the 24-240 on a trade in or with the proceeds from selling it. Not for an $1,100 ‘L’ lens.

I know budgets don’t exist for a lot of participants on these forums, but one should be able to read into a question a bit. All alternatives the OP is looking at are less than $500. Double that is a lot of money for some folks.

He did get an incredible good value in his bundle deal.  The RF24-240 MSRP is $899 is a lot of money saved getting it in a kit with the MSRP $999 EOS RP.   The MSRP of the 50f1.8 and 35f1.8 combined is much less than the MSRP of the 24-240.
