Review on πΈ Fujifilm XF10-24mmF4 R OIS: Stunning Wide-Angle Lens for Immersive Photography by Kasem Thongnoi α
High-quality product, the price corresponds to the quality.
Despite the nit-picking and Wishlist, the lens is simply excellent. The toad choked for a long time, and I probably would have fought with it for a long time, but... an upcoming trip to Vietnam appeared on the horizon... Well, it was IMPOSSIBLE to go to catch local landscapes with a standard 18-55mm f / 2,8-4. As a result, he overcame the toad, and for good reason. What I expected, I got: the colors are juicy, the coverage of space is crazy, there is simply no marriage in focus (which, by the way, the same Tokina 11-16 sinned great). For 3 weeks of everyday shooting, I noted that 90% of the shots on the trip are made by him, so we can say that for me he became almost a staff member. I can definitely recommend to all X-photographers as one of the most successful additions to your fleet of optics.
- - Focal range; - Sharpness; - Color rendition; - Stabilization! Indeed, it is not in vain that they write here: shooting at night with hands by 1/15 is more than real; - There is practically no distortion (at least noticeable to the naked eye), so the lens is suitable not only for landscapes, but also for architecture and interiors; - Pretty fast and tenacious autofocus (even paired with a relatively simple X-M1), shows itself well in dynamic street photography; - You can wind filters, which, by the way, not every super-wide can boast of.
- - Dimensions and weight are already close to mirror counterparts; - The aperture ring rotates too easily - you can accidentally knock down the settings. (But this is true for all XF lenses - apparently, this is how it was intended); - Of course, I would like it to have a hole of 2.8. I used to have a tokina 11-16mm f / 2,8 for crop - I still remember it with love. And here... well, f/4, in general, is also not bad, and the stub helps a lot. In general, having shot both of them, I would say that the width at f / 2.8 without a stub and the width at f / 4 with a stub are approximately equivalent in real life.
