This lens covers from wide (24mm) to tele (240mm) with excellent sharpness and color rendition. I know some reviewers have commented on vignetting at wide angles. This should be expected with a lens barrel as long as it needs to be for the 240mm end of the scale, but it is not as bad as they say. If you import into Lightroom, for example, and apply the standard Adobe lens correction for the lens, the vignetting almost disappears, and without losing much of the frame - due to the correction being applied for wide angle distortion.
Is this a "real" 24 mm wide angle lens? Of course not! It is really good, but if you need edge-to-edge sharpness without vignetting, you'll need a serious wide-angle prime or zoom lens. There aren't many available for the RF mount at this time, and most will set you back a lot more than this lens costs.
For what it is, a not-inexpensive zoom that covers the full range well, it is a great lens. It is not everything for every purpose. I still give it 5 stars, as I think it is an excellent buy for most enthusiasts. A pro would naturally want to add other lenses depending on needs, such as a true wide angle, a portrait lens, and/or a serious super-telephoto.
