Judging by the dpreview samples, the RF 24-50 is absolutely worthless, I'd rather buy a cheaper body and some better lenses. What's the point of using a fullframe body with a cr@p lens?

As yet there are NO samples that I can find on dpreview or indeed anywhere else. You may not like the specifications, but it’s a bit premature to call it “worthless”. It would make a nice compact walk around solution with an RP/R8 size body. Not everyone needs - or can afford - a large aperture or L-level construction. The low cost 24-105 STM shows that Canon can make very good budget zooms.

There are a bunch of images taken with the RF 24-50 in the R8 sample gallery (e.g., images 10, 14, 15, 20, 22, 23, 31, 33, 36, 40, 53 & more... 35 images in total).

I examine those samples closely, and that lens's IQ is terrible.
