[en] Fusion-evaporation cross sections of ⁴⁰Ca+¹²⁴Sn have been measured with good precision and the barrier distribution extracted, following a complementary experiment on multinucleon transfer on the same system. The completeness of the data allows to constrain the fusion calculations concerning the effect of transfer coupling. The measured cross sections are strongly enhanced below the barrier compared to the one-dimensional barrier penetration estimate and the 'barrier distribution' is broad with no clear peak structure. Those features, together with transfer Q-values and cross sections make this system very similar to ⁴⁰Ca+⁹⁶Zr where there were also hints of significant transfer effects. Simplified coupled-channel calculations fail to reproduce the low energy tail of the data, although the barrier distribution is qualitatively reproduced. At a few energies, also the fusion of ⁴⁰Ca+¹¹⁶Sn has been measured and found to be very similar to the ¹²⁴Sn case
