The moral of this story: It's hard to find a satisfying 24mm in a standard zoom anyway.

Some of my best shots were taken with the ancient 24-85mm at 24mm. It wasn't razor sharp all the way out to the corners, but it was better than this 24-105. So it's doable if the lens maker prioritizes it.

The rf 24-105 lens prioritizes telephoto reach and performance over wide angle performance. 85mm is less challenging, and the 70mm of the 24-70mm f4 L eliminates distortion at 24mm even better.

45 is more than enough, but 500.000 isn't
