I sold my 28-300 when I found a 35-350L lens.

I found the 35-350 to be sharper (yeah, I'm a detail/sharpness snob) than the newer version. The colors are the same, or as close as I can see, many of the other details are very close to the same, but the photo detail...the 28-300 can't match the 35-350.

The funny thing is, the 28-300 replaced...the old 35-350. But...not in my book.

For a "do it all" type lens 35mm is too narrow. That's probably why they went with 28 in the new version. For an amateur wildlife photography lens the 35-350 is probably better. But something like the Sigma 50-500 is now superior to both. For a general purpose lens the RF 24-240mm is better than all of the above.

Since the EF lenses are made to work on film cameras they're low distortion compared to mirrorless lenses so naturally, going super wide to super long results in some sacrifices.

Plus, we all know Canon hates poor amateur wildlife photographers...
