The 16mm is going to be a great low price addition to any travel setup if the image quality is good. I can't wait to check it out!

For sure, this has been a dream lens for me ever since I seen Sigma file a patent for one years ago! All the RF lenses so have had excellent IQ so id be surprised if this didn’t follow the trend.

I currently have the the EF24-105 f4 and like it. I'm struggling to decide if I go with the RF24-105f4 or the RF24-240. Seems like with how great the R6 is at higher ISO that the RF24-240 gives a great bang for your buck.

I went with the RF 24-240 as my first (and currently still the only) RF lens, and I truly love it's flexibility.

That does sound like an all-around great lens - especially at such a good price-point. I am only hesitating because I'm a bit afraid that I won't have much use for my existing (non-RF) L-series lenses (24-70, 70-200). Sounds a little silly, I know,

Between this one, and my Tamron 35-150mm f/2.8-4, (EF mount) I use the "standards" much less often.

I've had my R6 for nearly a year now. In the last month I've had several occasions when the viewfinder image freezes when I keep the focus button down. I usually wait a while to see if it clears, but end up shutting down and starting again. Anyone experience a similar issue? Thanks.

Thanks! I was lost for a bit lol

Speaking of GAS, currently looking at the RF 24 -104 F/4 for hiking. I take my 24mm prime but sometimes there are waterfalls that are a little further out that I wish I had a zoom lens. Anyone have that lens that can comment on their experience? I read it's pretty light compared to other zoom lens.

I use that lens all the time, very sharp, that's a useful range. Seems a little bit heavy, but that's me coming from a 70D with a 15-85. Check the Canon refurb page, they will probably have it by now, although I find you don't always save very much over a new lens.

Another vote for the RF 24-240mm. I had the RF 24-105mm f/4L (great lens!) and sold it for the 28-70mm f/2L. Wasn’t really happy with the 28-70mm, so sold it. Got the 24-240mm and haven’t looked back.

I will probably pick up another RF 24-105mm f/4L or maybe a 24-70mm f/2.8 but for now the 24-240mm is my go to for a walk around lens.

Some shots from the garden today, R6 and EF 100mm f/2.8L

What color profiles are you using lately?
Adobe is still behind ... Has anyone compared the profiles from Color Fidelity with the ones you can generate with a Colorchecker Passport?

I have my R6 for four months, and have experienced the viewfinder image freezing for a minute or less. I’ve only had to restart the camera once, as it seems to unfreeze or restart itself. The last time it happened I took note: I had just turned the R6 on with the 100-400mm ll attached, (custom setting mode, servo, animal detect), viewfinder froze on previous image for approx one minute and the R6 restarted itself. I noticed the lens made a clunky sound as the camera unlocked.

I’m using both Color Fidelity and Adobe Raw, whichever I feel best suits the image. I’ve never used the colour checker, so I’m not of much help.

Got mine in last Dec and haven't had this issue at all. In fact the only real issue I have had was sometimes when turning it on, there may be like a 1 second delay and that's it.

Thanks folks! I'll look into the 24-240 as well. Only way to find out which lens I'll like better for when I'm out hiking is to rent them and try it out. Ugh but for cold/wet seasons the weather seal on the 24 - 105 has the advantage. I know I'm not going to shoot out in the rain, I'll have a cover with me, but still..

Not sure if I shared this one. Tunnel Falls at Eagle Creek Trail in Oregon USA. Trail leads through a tunnel that goes behind the waterfall.
