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?

With respect, you're a Nikon shooter on a Canon forum, be kind. But, here you go.

Nikon should be scared of that R8. Makes the Z5 look, obsolete.

Can you provide a link to the MTF. Those look like pretty good MTF, albeit with astigmatism.

Thank you - the blue line is 30 lines. Black is 10.

I compared this to the ts24 MTF https://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/MTF.aspx?Lens=486 and concluded:

above 90% to edge at 10 shows really good contrast

blue to edge at 70% is very good resolution

dashed line going down and departing from solid indicates astigmatism - which is likely fixable in lens profile

There is nothing to indicate (and the contrary is true) that this is not a good lens particularly I expect it will improve at f8 where I shoot mostly.
