What Buyers Say
Canon RF 24-240mm f/4-6.3 IS USM
The Canon RF 24-240mm lens is widely praised as an excellent all-in-one travel zoom, offering a versatile 10x range from wide-angle to telephoto in a compact, lightweight package. Users consistently highlight its sharp image quality, good value, and convenience for reducing gear, though some note the lack of weather sealing, a fixed aperture, and the need to use the menu to switch between auto and manual focus. A few minor issues like light leak in very low light and incompatibility with multiple exposure on the R5 are mentioned, but overall it is seen as a reliable go-to lens for everyday and travel photography.
