I am not personally familiar with either lens. I suggest looking at reviews and paying attention to the list of image impacting bullets I put into a different reply. Generally speaking, lenses that have less of a max/min zoom ratio are easier to pull off design wise, but from a “one lens, all day” perspective something like an 18-150 is hard to beat.

Because it’s Canon’s RF mount, I think all lenses in this focal range are first part (ie are from Canon). Your choices are:

• The Canon RF 24-105mm f/4-7.1 IS STM. This is a “slow lens” (or won’t be great in low light) and it looks like availability is somewhat limited. It will be your cheapest option at $400 if you can find one
• The Canon RF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM, which retails for $1,300
• The Canon RF 24-105mm f/2.8 L IS USM Z, which retails for $3,000

You could look at adopting a lens, but I suspect a lens + adapter will make this tough at under $600 new.

I was thinking the same :(

Strategic lawsuits against public participation (also known as SLAPP suits or intimidation lawsuits), or strategic litigation against public participation, are lawsuits intended to censor, intimidate, and silence critics by burdening them with the cost of a legal defense until they abandon their criticism or opposition

There are many, many variants. The idea is the smaller player can’t really afford to fight in court, so even if the larger actor has shaky legal claims they will still win.
