My copy isn't great between 24mm and 26mm, the corners seem to be "stretched" in-camera for jpegs and for RAWs by Lightroom/DPP. There is a theory the image circle doesn't quite cover the sensor around at around 24mm.

Not just a theory - if you turn off Profile Corrections in Lightroom you can see the black corners:

Beyond 26mm the lens is good.

That's useful to know - I've never specifically tested that.

Sharpness isn't much behind the 24-105F4L.
