UPDATE
The forum will be moving to a new domain in the near future (canonrumorsforum.com). I have turned off "read-only", but I will only leave the two forum nodes you see active for the time being. I don't know at this time how quickly the change will happen, but that will move at a good pace I am sure. ------------------------------------------------------------

Since no one else has done it, I thought I'd start the underrated rf24-240 lens gallery.
It's not as good as I'd hoped, but much better than I'd expected (and better than a superzoom that's under $1k US has any right to be.)
EOS R, RF 24-240 f/4-6.3 IS USM @ 240mm, 1/400s, f9, ISO 100
EOS R, RF 24-240 f/4-6.3 IS USM @ 55mm, 1/800s, f10, ISO 100
EOS R, RF 24-240 f/4-6.3 IS USM @ 240mm, 1/320s, f10, ISO 500
EOS R, RF 24-240 f/4-6.3 IS USM @ 240mm, 1/320s, f10, ISO 125
Since this is an internet forum about cameras, the obligatory cat pic. The versatility of the 24-240 means you don't have to switch lenses to get in close and capture the cat in the middle of deciding whether to finish climbing, or to jump down on what he just spotted.

Lets get in close to some bees!
EOS R, RF 24-240 f/4-6.3 IS USM @ 240mm, 1/400s, f6.3, ISO 400
EOS R, RF 24-240 f/4-6.3 IS USM @ 40mm, 1/200s, f4.5, ISO 100
EOS R, RF 24-240 f/4-6.3 IS USM @ 240mm, 1/320s, f6.3, ISO 400
These last two images demonstrate what is truely great about this lens: They're the same picture, captured from the same place. One is at 40mm, the other at 240. Look right at the centre of the first of these two images, and you can see the same texture to the clouds. And the first is only 40mm, not even the full 24mm at the wide end. 24-240 means you can zoom in from 100% of the scene in to a small section that is only 1% of the size of the original. The quality is pretty good considering the versatility.
