One of my favorite ever standard zoom lenses is the Canon RF 24-105mm f/4-7.1 IS STM. It’s not just because it’s cheap and very light, but because it’s also very good.
I think it’s as sharp across the zoom range as the L-series RF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM, and it has the best IS of any lens I’ve used for a long time. It also relies so heavily on digital corrections, however, that uncorrected images shot at 24mm actually lose their corners.
