BH is showing this new Canon lens: Canon RF 24-50mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM Lens (Canon RF)

I'm curious what its use would be vs the 24-105 STM. Smaller and a few ounces lighter at the expense of significant more reach. I haven't seen any review as of yet so no telling its IQ at this point, hopefully better than the 15-30.

I preordered the R8+24-50 kit because I want something smaller than my R5 to take with me on family outings. The 24-105
would move it to the ‘needs a bag’ category, while the 24-50 would keep it in the ‘fits in coat pocket’ category.

If you want reviews, check youtube, there are a few hands-on previews from the usual suspects, including Gordon from Cameralabs.
