IT WASN'T. Not even close...
I bought every other lens first, available thinking that, "My R5 walk around lens is my iPhone Pro Max".
So, I bought a 24-240 last, just so I could use the same editing software, and half out of curiosity. And I was pleasantly surprised. And I mean "almost shocked", (especially when considering the price and weight differentials).
I compared it to my 14-35 at 24 mm with shots on my secretary's little snowman in the center of the frame and at far left edge.
I also compared it to my 100-500 at 240mm with the snowman in the center and the left edge.
And, really, if you let the camera do it's thing, the images are pretty hard to tell apart.
I bought two R5 bodies, one for a 24-105 f/4 and the other for a 70-200 f/2.8 or 100-500 f/4.5-7.1 so I wouldn't have to change lenses all the time and risk dropping one, and slowing everything down and taking the fun out of it. Now, except for the most hard core pixel peeping sessions, I'm wondering if that was worth it.
Note: all images cropped very hard, just down to the snow man alone. Auto exposure. Hand held. Crappy office overhead florescent tube lighting.
