I bought the 24-240 as part of a kit with an RP. It's a very versatile lens and you get a lot for the money.

With that said, when I got my R5 I did some lens tests with a lot of pixel peeping. My copy of the 24-240 will not keep up with the RF24-70, RF70-200 f2.8, or any of the primes I compared it to. I'm not saying I expected it to, but just know that there is a noticeable difference, at least on a 45MP camera. My main interest when testing was for landscape type shots and all were compared at F8 on a tripod shooting the same scene and comparing at most common focal lengths. I shot in RAW and compared in Lightroom with corrections enabled.

I'm not trying to dis the lens, but just know that there is a difference that you can see if looking closely.
