Canon rf 70 200mm f 4l is usm vs canon rf 24 240mm f 4 6 3 is usm?

Both are full-frame Canon RF lenses with stabilisation and autofocus, so the choice comes down to range and light.

The Canon RF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM is my pick for reach. It holds f/4 across the whole zoom, so it stays brighter at the long end and separates your subject from the background well. It suits wildlife and sport, and it's underrated for distant hills and ridges, as the landscape page explains.

The Canon RF 24-240mm f/4-6.3 IS USM is the one-lens answer. It covers wide to telephoto, which makes it handy for travel. It gets darker as you zoom in, though, so it's weaker in dim light at 240mm.

If you're just starting out, a standard zoom comes first, as the lenses guide suggests. The 70-200 is a good second lens.
