Re: RF-S 18-150mm sharper than the RF24-105F4L?

For those who bought the bundle of either the R10 or the R7, any feedback on how you find the EF18-150mm lens? Have an option to purchase one for $300 U.S. and it's practically brand new since the owner bought it with a package and only tested it for a few shots but uses his EF70-200mm almost hundred percent of the time for sports.

Plan to use it for travel (landscape, cityscape, street), when having a couple of primes may not be practical.

TIA!

here is a vid comparing the 18-150 to the RF 24-105 both on a R7,, the 18-150 seems amazing sharp ..but remember the 24-105 is a FF lens and is disadvantaged when fitted to APS-c but nobody would complain about the performance of the 24-105 on APS-c

I found this review very interesting.  I have both lenses.  I love the RF-S 18-150.   I have the R7 and the R5.   My RF 24-105f4L IS is big and heavy while no better than the 18-150.

I had low expectations for the 18-150 kit lens when I bought it to get quick delivery of the R7 but was very surprise by how good it is for such a small and light weight lens.
