That's not to say all the cheap gear is crap by definition... I've found the 24-85 USM a great little lens, and I've used it successfully even on the Z9 now. But it's still a notch, or two, above the likes of the 75-300, since it has decent ergonomics and proper USM, at the very least. Its only fault is that it is discontinued since a long time ago, and I prefer not to think of what happens if I have to repair it...

The latter-day EF-S gear was all great quality, and still pretty worthwhile. But now Canon is squarely aiming it into the very bottom end probably because they intend to make people upgrade to FF at any cost. In a sense, despite its disadvantages, the M system might've been a way to avoid this rut precisely because it was a standalone system with no excuse of having the path to FF, but the execution was so half-hearted that it was kinda obvious they were going to kill it off. The APS-C RF kinda just sealed the deal (never thought I'd be lamenting the EOS-M system, but here I stand...)
