FUJIFILM XF 10-24mm vs VILTROX 13mm - What is Fuji's Best Wide Angle Lens?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 июн 2022
- I can not believe I am saying this out loud, but could I be selling the Fujifilm XF 10-24mm F/4 to be replaced with the Viltrox 13mm F1.4 for Fujifilm? I think most would agree with me, that the Fuji 10-24mm is the most versatile landscape photography lens, and probably the lens I would recommend to all Fujifilm users.
However, for a long time, I have been screaming out (and still am) for Fujifilm to make a wide-angle fast prime for night photography. Ideally, a 12mm or 13mm F/2 lens would be amazing, if it had F1.4 that would be a game-changer - just like Viltrox has created!
If I am 100% honest I feel the Fujifilm XF 10-24mm is a static lens, it's amazing at landscape/architecture photography, but it stops there. The AF is slow, for video, it struggles with stabilisation and low light, it's well terrible! The Viltrox 13mm still struggles with stabilisation, but excels in every other aspect where the XF 10-24mm fails!
Let me know in the comments below what you think is the better of the two lenses for Landscape Photography and if you could tell the difference with the images provided below.
Please Fuji, learn from this and follow suit! :D

I have them both. The Viltrox is amazing but... the 10-24 is a great walking-around lens for me too. So, I'm keeping both for now.
I agree there’s definitely reason for both in the bag….both together still way cheaper than the 8-16, I didn’t rate that lens and sold.
Thanks for sharing your files, it's very useful to be able to compare real life images side by side. Both these lenses are on my radar ... currently use the 16-80mm and the Samyang 12mm for landscape (and astro in the case of the 12mm). Was planning on picking up the Viltrox at some point as an upgrade for astro, and have long planned to add the 10-24mm to my kit ... but you make an interesting case :-) Must say, based on your images the Viltrox is definitely sharper. I suppose I should expect that from a prime. Thanks again, these comparison videos are very useful.
Good question and curious on the follow-up. I also own both but didn‘t do the comparison yet. At the end I guess the Viltrox can‘t replace the Fuji completely. With the zoom the Fuji is more flexible out in the fields. Only sunstars are horrible. Guess for low light situations the V will definitely do better
Loved the colour grading on the intro :o Great video as always!
Thanks so much!
I've been searching for this comparison video. Thank you Matt. I'm still deciding, but the Viltrox is really really really convincing.
Great rational and explanation on why you feel the Viltrox is the best ultra wide lens for your use. I have a first gen 10-24 as well that I have shot with for years. I have only used it for landscape/city scape photo and I have always been very happy with its sharpness and contrast. Just like you said I rarely use mine at 10mm, and looking at my metadata its like 90% at 13mm. Going above that I almost never use any focal length before 27ish mm. I purchase the manual focus Samyang 12mm to use for astro and it worked pretty good. Never used it for daylight photography as the fuji 10-24 is optically much better. When Viltrox came out with the 13mm I watched the reviews on it and was surprised by everyones reaction to how good they thought it was. The sharpness/contrast and most importantly lack of coma wide open was the ticket for me to purchase it, and the added benefit of its close focus while remaining sharp and contrasty was a bit plus too. This is the lens fuji should have made years ago. I am happy to have it in my kit now too and am thinking about parting ways with the 10-24. I do like the 10-24 versatility though. I do not have the 16-55 but I do have the 18-55 and am mostly satisfied with its images. But like I mentioned earlier I seldom shoot at focal lengths between 14mm to 27mm. I would say this is Viltrox best lens too. Its image quality equals the great performing 10-24.
Great images!! I've got both lenses.. the 10-24 was my first lens in the Fuji system (!) and I wouldn't have considered selling it until now. I love the flexibility of the Fuji zoom, but I also gravitate to the wider end and don't care that much for the rendering/IQ when zoomed in. But the Viltrox.. wow. It pretty well covers the focal length I like to shoot at, and blows away the zoom in low light situations, close focusing, corner sharpness and astro.
Thank you hahha someone that knows and understands his photography well!!! Legend I am glad you are getting good use out of it buddy 😀
how do i find the filter for this???please. and if knf concept has it
Matthew, do you have any suggestions for making sky images with the 13mm Viltrox in the Karavanke? I mean a good spot where you can park your car and hike to a spot that makes a great foregound?
Cheers!
I would suggest Jurezeva Planina and upwards from that! - ruclips.net/video/H1k1BKMvyUc/видео.html
@@matthewstorerphotography Thanks so much for your suggestion. Unfortunately it was a little and I had to end my vacation there. But I will definitely try that when I come back.
I have received my Viltrox 13mm f1.4 last week. It is by far one of the best lenses I have ever used. It is shaper on the edges compared to xf 10-24 but Viltrox shines in low light situations such as events, interior architecture, museums etc. It is also a great focal length for landscape photography. When you go down to 11mm or 10mm you have higher vignetting in XF 10-24, not to mention that it is f/4. I would not grab it for low light situations. If you have 23mm f2.0 like me you absolutely do not need XF 10-24 since it is very soft at 23-24mm range. Therefore, I have sold my XF 10-24 and Viltrox 13mm f1.4 has become my go to lens for travel & landscape photography.
If budget is not an issue, Viltrox 13mm or Tamron 11-20 f2 for Sony ZVe10?🙂 just planning to use it for travel … mostly in low light.. cos I have Tamron 17-70 for daylight
Hi Matt. Been huge fan of your work here on RUclips. Awesome locations, great talking through the process. I just enjoy watching your videos. One note though, noticed that your voice recorded audio gets distorted little bit and doesnt sound good. Probably levels too high that's what happened. Dont take it as a critique please. I often watch your videos on mobile and voice audio doesnt sound clean unfortunately.
Hey mate no need to be sorry, I know it's freaking horrible! I must have pushed the button on the Rode Go that increased the gain and makes it peak all the time. Freaking hate it and always seem to be having trouble with my audio lately. Have stuck masking tape on my Rode now so I will check it every time! Sorry.... :(
@@matthewstorerphotography Maybe there is a way to record quieter and adjust levels in post process. Whatever works :)
As for the subject of this video, I’ve not got experience with neither lenses (only shooting with primes) but my fav ultra wide is 12 samyang f2 . Very little distortion if copy is good (mine has one one corner worst than others) but for the money it’s amazing lens
I sold off my 10-24mm Fuji in order to purchase the Viltrox 13mm f1.4 last month.
I found that most of my shots taken with the Fuji zoom were in the 12-15mm range - and I wanted something faster. So it was a no-brainer really 😊
The 10-24 is one of those few lenses I loved right off the bat...even when they come out with mark 2 WR versions, I don't feel the need to upgrade.
What I am wondering tho...is this Viltrox 13mm1.4 a Fuji 16mm1.4 killer? Cause if I'm deciding between those 2 right now, esp for astro, I think I would take cheaper and wider focal range...
Cannot agree more 👍
IMHO the 16mm focal length which equals 24mm on FF equivalence does better for crop sensor camera's group shoots - I would personally want something like a 12 or 13 instead for crop sensors for architectural/landscaping
I have 16mm1.4. It is a really great lens with only one flaw - coma in corners. So I am using Samyang 12mm for astro and 16mm1.4 for day time shooting. But I am think of replacing the Samyang with this Viltrox.
Not sure as the image download page gave me an error message. Anyway not sure I could part with my 10-24 I love that lens. I finally got my hands on a Fuji 16 1.4 So no new glass for me. Keep up the great content.
Was totally my fault, I deleted them from my dropbox. Will be working now
Great content and great work.
Maybe cut back on the okka lingo a tad.
Again great videos, particularly your astro review of the 13mm
Pre-owned 10-24 vs Vilrox 13? After looking at so many reviews I'm almost overloaded with information. In the end, I'm going for Viltrox as it's faster and I'll get more use out of it as a result and 'loose' the few mm's the Fuji has. Thanks for the honest review.
I have neither but will probably get both
I heve 13mm and I absolutely love it!
Images are very very similar. But I think the Viltrox 13mm is sharper on the edges but is got more vigneting too. So the XF10-24 images seems more homogenous
It's either this Viltrox UWA lens or Samyang 2.0 AF for me - whichever the UWA single focal length lens that will yield at the average the sharpest image even on the edges, will be mine for the takes for potential architectural and landscape shots - cheers!
And, what did you came up with? I guess the Samyang will last forever - but Viltrox ?
The Viltrox 13mm is a bummer. It feels better. The sharpness in the center is so good, wide open. And the bokeh is very nice. I love this lens! And it replaces my 10-20 since I got it. Not sure, if I'll sell the 10-20. But I don't think I will use it that much in the future. Although one advantage is the OS for filming. I use the 18-55 for that purpose mostly though.
Heh heh heh - this 13mm f1.4 is almost DEFINITELY gonna be my "UN-HOLY" f1.4 Viltrox Trinity together with the 33 and 56mm lenses - blah!
About three weeks ago I got the Viltrox 13mm f/1.4 for the X-T4 and as they say, I got a bad copy, really bad, I guess Viltrox is not big on quality control, I returned it the next day, I did not want a replacement (which they did offer), I’ll stay with Fuji native lenses.
What was wrong with your copy?
@@andrew_veale I found an issue with the exposure value, it fluctuates when half pressing the shutter button, it’s like “what you see is not what you get”, the other issue that I found is that as soon as I turn the camera on it starts to flicker on and off, I can see it on the viewfinder and on the LCD. I don't want Viltrox to tell me to try this or to try that and I'm not waiting for a firmware update.
@@Enrique-the-photographer oh that would be a pain!
@@andrew_veale There's a you-tuber that is mainly Fuji (Luca Petralia photography) with similar issues, if you take a look at the video from about a month ago you’ll see my comments.
I think the micro contrast, and color rendition is better on the Fuji 14mm 2.8. And it’s half the size. For stills, it’s probably a better option for those reasons. Yes the Viltrox is faster, but it’s a beast, and for a wide fast lens, I’d go for the 16mm 1.4 Fuji because it’s crazy close focus ability, which the Vilrox just doesn’t do nearly as well. The Viltrox is probably a better video lens, but the size…
16mm might be not enough for astro.
But the price, though...
The Viltrox 13mm is a bummer. It feels better. The sharpness in the center is so good, wide open. And the bokeh is very nice. I love this lens! And it replaces my 10-20 sonce I got it. Not sure, if I'll sell the 10-20. But I don't think will use it that much in the future. Although one advantage is the OS for filming. I use the 18-55 for that purpose mostly though.
Anyone else getting 404 errors with the image downloads?
Was my mistake, should be working now! :D
@@matthewstorerphotography Thanks, all working now.. Time to decide! :)
Guess it's down to personal requirements; if you need a 13mm F1.4 AF, Fuji X mount lens, then just go out and buy the Viltrox. No need to "pixel peep", as in any real world comparison the differences will be miniscule, the differences in build quality and operation will for the most part be subjective. What isn't an issue is that a new Viltrox is great value for money, (although used mark1 Fujifilm 10-24mm are now very well priced).
I don't own the Viltrox, but have owned the Fujifilm 24mm F2.8, Zeiss Touit 12mm F2.8 & Samyang 12mm F2, and although I've enjoyed using each, I kept coming back to the Fujifilm 10-24mm zoom which retains it's place in my camera bag owing to it's versatility, and despite also owning the Fujifilm 16-80mm F4.
I guess being primarily a landscape photographer, but also enjoying city walk abouts, the 10-24mm best meets my needs!
What you're losing compared to what you are gaining is negligible Matt since you can utilise other lenses from 16mm onwards. But what your gaining is the bigger question here and from what you have said, I think you are making a strong case for the Viltrox especially if it enhances your capabilities for astro photography
Yeah everyone is smashing it because its a 'Viltrox' lens and not a Fuji lens. But for me it works and that is all that matters!
I think there’s more versatility in the 10-24, I sold my 8-16 for the 10-24, it’s optically more than good enough for me, the 8-16 is ridiculously overpriced. I might add the Viltrox for the money as that’s a useful tool…and not too expensive, but I’d definitely keep the 10-24.
I was going to get the 8-16 because I was so inspired by the photograph Fuji use for marketing it… but if you look closely it’s shot a 16mm so I’ll just use my 16 1.4 LOL
@@robmcd damn turn-off pricing for the 8-16 in Malaysia especially in current times even if that original XF UWA zoom is CRAZY SHARP
@@outalingamcrap9366 Malaysia is where all the grey importers get their stock isn’t it?
@@robmcd i suppose so but still that 8-16 is pricey indeed at f2.8VC
Thanks for the video, but if you shouted a bit less loudly, the audio would have less ugly distortion 🙂
nice bro
If I would live there..... making photos all day. What a location.
The viltrox by a mile. The 10-24 is really just a landscape lens. It’s good when you’re using it for vistas that are farther away. The image quality falls apart when focusing on closer subjects. The viltrox is a landscape lens and really anything you want to throw at it. It’s also capable of resolving more detail at 1.4 than the 10-24 is at f4, and completely surpasses the 10-24 at the same apertures. The only advantage of the 10-24 is the zoom, and the OIS. The OIS is surprisingly good but 13mm is easy for camera IS to handle in most cases with more modern camera bodies.
These were my takeaways from using both.
Sorry but the sound is so bad… it’s really a shame as the images are absolutely beautiful!
Ill be brutally honest for this video. I felt i wouldve kept watching but the audio is terrible my man. Either a better microphone is needed or quiter environment is needed so you’re not screaming into the microphone. I have the volume lowered but the audio quality is really bad. I look forward to another video but please please please take my suggestion.
Hmmm, "King of night sky photography"?, what about the chronic aberations, astigmatism and coma?
wtf is with that audio
☺️
Love your videos, but the link for this one took me to a form page then to your main page. I could not find the images. Please update the link.
Instead of focusing on your lenses, you should first get a better mic for your videos!
Hey mate, I know it's freaking horrible! I must have pushed the button on the Rode Go that increased the gain and makes it peak all the time. Freaking hate it and always seem to be having trouble with my audio lately. Have stuck masking tape on my Rode now so I will check it every time! Sorry.... :(

So what so what so what
Horrible le son
Your sound is horrible and absolutely not understandable.
