I have been using my 13 years old EF 24-105mm F4L IS USM with adapter on my R6. But it is rather bulky (long) specially when gravity moves it to the 105 position, there is no lock on it. A technical issue is that the stabilizer motor is active most of the time when the camera is switched on.

So I bought the RF 24-105mm F4L IS USM. Looks beautiful. But then I did a comparison with the old EF lens. First just some shots, then a more serious compare on a tripod with a newspaper on the wall. There is no doubt, at 50 mm the old EF lens is considerable sharper on the edges than the new RF. I even did not compare it at other focal ranges, I returned the lens, money back. The cost is not worth the upgrade (downgrade).

You must have had a lemon. I would give it another try.

New user, first time poster, hmmm...

New lens and then suddenly a second time poster. Things can improve...

Testing a zoom lens at close distance and at one focal lenght setting and concluding that the lens is bad may confirm that there are more bad tests than bad lenses out there.
