The design of this lens — and of the RF 16/2.8 and the RF 24-240/4-6.3 lenses — was based on a combination of optical and digital correction. The results are affordable lenses that would be much heavier and more expensive if the corrections were attempted in the optical domain only.

I think it's a strange base for a review to disregard half the virtues of the object one is reviewing.

+1 The OP might just as well just hate himself for this purchase, because all of the "properties" of this lens were well known and documented before he even purchased it!

It's obvious that what the OP really wants is all of the virtues of the RF 24-105 f/4L at the STM's price!
