... it's time for a review again.
Next Sigma 18-50mm DC DN.
Woohooo!!
On a Fuji body I assume?
If so, will you test both 26 and 40MP?
Thanks :-)
I will stick to 26mp for the formal tests.
The sample images are already shot at 40mp.
The reason is that Markus has many 26mp MTFs in stock ... and there's still a faint hope that he'll finally publish them.
Is there anything we can do to help with that? Proofreading? Ghostwriting? :-)
Damn, the RF 24-240mm is not as bad as I thought. Was hoping for a 1* review ;-)
Maybe the Sony version would give you that. :-)

I mentioned as much quite a while ago. If I need a do all single lens setup, and can't bring anything much, it is my lens of choice. Does very well for its zoom range and price, if youd ask me. True, absolutely no bokeh monster, but that is not its purpose ....
For anything better and/or faster with a similar range you need a 2 or 3 lens setup, and you'd get into L-territory too ...
Kind regards, Wim
There is one odd/ugly/strange oddity with the 24-240mm - the auto-correction at 24mm
Straight JPEGs (and, as such, your viewfinder image) are more cropped than RAW files - converted e.g. in Adobe ACR (probably not via Canon DPP?)
Needless to say but Canon obviously thinks that the corner performance isn't there so they crop more than usual.
We're not going to be shocked. Over at Fred Miranda's forum (which I rejoined last fall after my account somehow got deleted after 10 years of devoted service...) people have shown how the 24-240 really looked at the wide end. I'm just curious if it's going to be as bad as the 16/2.8 formally... or worse.

Unlike Sony OEM RAW converter Canon DPP is actually excellent and has a lot of features, for skin tones, it's by far my preferred, it came a long way since it was just a basic tool, and photos edited with DPP don't look exactly like camera JPG, so it would be interesting to know if it behaves like camera for cropping or differently.
