Fujifilm 10-24mm Review - The hunt for Fuji's best wide angle lens
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 июл 2024
- I am on a bit of personal mission to find out what is the best wide angle lens Fujifilm offer for the X mount, with every single option of 18mm or less on its way to me I thought the best place to start would be with the one lens I have used more than any other (over 6 years) the Fujifilm 10-24mm f/4 R OIS

definitely the best review for this lens
Stunning photos, and a great review. Thanks!
This series has become my favourite lens reviews on the internet. Really well-researched and tested, with helpful tips to get the best performance out of the lens you’re testing. I also like the Astro tips you offer, as I’m an experienced portrait photographer but a novice for astro and landscape. Great job! 👍
Thank you, I really appreciate it.
The Astro stuff I've been learning a lot about as well and should have a new video for that coming in the next few weeks
Instablaster...
Nice detailed review thanks for that. Loving the XT-4 and this lens looks like a winner. cheers mate!
Cheers for the support man, really appreciate it.
Great video! I found that tip of using the lens as a 12-22 very useful to get the maximum sharpness out of the lens. And the best part is that is applicable to every zoom lens. Keep up the good work and stay safe!
Cheers mate, appreciate all the comments
Lens review series! Excited to see comparisons with Viltrox vs Fuji if possible, but great first vid!
I'd love to try and get my hands on everything including viltrox and samyang
Excellent review! Really helpful thanks.
Thank you!
Thomas, many thanks for a wonderfully engaging and informative review. I particularly liked the lens cap rattle comparison. It would be great if you had time, and access to, the updated WR version of the 10-24. Many thanks for sharing.
That review will happen as soon as I can get my hands on it
Fantastic review! Thanks!
Thank you!
Great review, Cheers!
Thank you!
Now that I've dipped my toe into the Fuji system and got the 16-80 f4 lens with it I find myself thinking to the future. I shoot pretty much everything so need lenses to be versatile. My bucket list for future lenses are 16mm f1.4 for street and macro kinda shots and the 59-140 for sports and wildlife with an adaptor to give it extra reach...that my expensive bucket list....Great vid as always and look forward to the next
I own / have owned both of those two lenses and totally love them, they would be in my top 5 of all Fuji lenses, good choice
Thank you for your actual practical tips on lens usage ("12-22 4.5") in an efficiently short video. I'll be buying the lens after seeing your confidence.
Was also tempted to buy it, it's 35% off SRP here, but I'm a sharpness freak.. lol.. so, I think I'm gonna pass.
Get the 16mm f/1.4 and laugh at the rest of world using interior glass
@@ThomasBusbyPhotography I already have it. That's why I think I'm gonna pass. I tested its astro capability after watching your other video about it.
Really good review on this one tho. *thumbs up!
@@ThomasBusbyPhotography Or laugh at 16 1.4 users who can't spell.
I bought one in December 2020 and have been having so much fun with this lens. I didn’t bother with the new WR version as I saved around 300 bucks. I think it’s perfect at f8.
Yeah this lens was my first (lens) love.
Thanks for a great review.... can't make up my mind between the 10-24 & 16mm 1.4; I've decided to go crazy and get both + the 50mm f2 to complement my 90mm. Thanks again.
Hahaha I owned both for years, eventually sold my 16mm as I didn't know how good it was and wasn't using it enough, and I've regretted it ever since
tb- photography great review man, thanks a lot. I sold my 16mm 1.4 to get the 14mm 2.8, and I haven’t looked back; to me, 14mm is a more interesting focal length than the more common 16mm; 14mm, to me, better conveys the sense of scale/vastness/epicness etc of landscapes. Btw, love the 10-24; it’s my favorite travel lens, together with the 16-55 f2.8. Although that 8-16 still lures, too...;)
You might be addicted to the wide like me, be careful around the 8-16, it might grab hold of you and never let go 😁
Thank you for this wonderful review. Can you please tell me how's Rokinon Samyang 12mm lens for Vlogging with this Camera ?
&
How's this camera for Time-lapse videos?
I really appreciate 🙏
Kia ora mate nice review I love this lens too
Cheers and yes it is a awesome lens
@@ThomasBusbyPhotography You're so lucky to live in Kiwiland I used to live there and this land is magical and has stolen my heart for ever, plenty of opportunity to use the Fuji kit. I imagine using this lens for one of the dream I've : doing the Te Araroa on a photography perspective :) ...I've subscribed to your channel just now
Yeah I do love the kiwiland 🤣 and thank you very much for the sub, I really appreciate it
@@ThomasBusbyPhotography if you love music, and harmonica you can probably sub too to my channel....More than 30 million views but I can deal with some more :)
The new version is weather sealed!
As a landscape fotographer you will normally hike to your location. Typically you have some subjects on your hike that you want to shoot at minimal distance in order to get a "macro with surroundings". I found sharpness getting real bad on some Fuji lenses like the 23mmf2 when it comes to minimum distance.
At which distance you made your sharpness tests ? Would find it very interesting to see sharpness at minimum distance and at infinity.
Thx so much for your brilliant wide lense super test. Love it !
I did some tests after viewers mentioned this, at about f/4 and minimum distance things were very sharp for me. But this was a eye ball, not a chart test.
ive had this lens for since its launch and its a lens which is on and off my camera, i have a hate and like relationship with this lens and like you said 12-24 are its best focal lengths for getting sweet images .
I know exactly what you mean, and cheers for the comment.
Thank you for this balanced and excellent review! I have two unrelated questions which I hope you don't mind me asking here. Do you use UV Protective Filters with your lenses and do you think they diminish the optical quality of a lens?
I don’t use any extra glass unless I need their benefit.
I’ll use a UV filter if there is a high chance of something hitting my lens but otherwise I don’t.
But I also have insurance with an excess the same price as a really great filter, so for me the risk is easily worth it and I have never damaged a lens yet so the money has been well and truely saved.
Yes I think very slight effect image quality, same as shooting wide open or not using a tripod etc, on their own each doesn’t make a difference, but combined if you do everything perfect you get this slight noticeable bump in image quality that no one but the best of the best achieves
Thank you for your quick thoughts. I'm going to research insurance as that sounds like an interesting safety measure. All the best and thank you for your excellent advice!@@ThomasBusbyPhotography
Great info but can I ask if you have used a square filter kit with it? The reason I ask is that Ive moved from the 100mm Lee kit to the Lee seven5 75mm kit and if I bought this lens I'm wondering if the filter kit will show in the frame at 10mm, great vlog 👍
Unfortunately I haven't used square filters with it sorry.
What I would do is reach out to who ever you plan to buy the filters from and ask them that question.
Make sure you get a reply in text as these are the people you'll need to deal with if given wrong information. (But hopefully you'll just get a clear answer)
Sorry I couldn't be of more help, and thank you very much for the support.
I've had my eye on this lens, but I've also had my eye on the 8-16mm f/2.8. If I had to choose one, I'd like to go 8-16mm, but it is more expensive of course. I'll more than likely rent each lens before I commit to one of them, but definitely either of these lenses would be great to be part of my kit. Thanks for another great video btw!
I have the 8-16 on the way and will pop up a review for it as soon as I can (next week would be nice but no promises). But once I get it, it will be compared a lot to the 10-24.
Cheers for the comment.
@@ThomasBusbyPhotography Take your time reviewing it, no worries if it takes longer mate, we're all patient. But I dare say the 8-16 will become your new favorite lens, at least for landscapes!
For it me it would actually be is the 8-16mm better than the 10-24 AND the 16 1.4 combined.
I'm excited to see.
@@ThomasBusbyPhotography Ah yes, the 16mm f/1.4 is on my list to get! $1k for it here in the US, but before that, since it's a bit more affordable I'll be ordering the Rokinon 12mm f/2.0 very soon :D
I'm very interesting to test all the third party lenses after ive done the fujis
Great videos and amazing photos! Keep them coming! I recently got the XT4 and I'm trying to decide whether to keep it or not. One thing I noticed is the AF-C mode in video does not allow for active tracking when you select an object. Anyone able to do this? I thought I read that it can do selective continuous tracking in video. Seems like a glaring omission if not there.
I do all my videos with face tracking AF-C and will try to remember to give object tracking a test this evening for you and let you know.
Cheers for the comment
tb- photography Awesome. Thanks! For the life of me I can’t get it to work. Seems strange if you can’t say pick an animal or car to track in video without actively using the AF stick or pulling focus manually.
Do you mind sending me a PM on IG and if I can get it to work I'll send you a video of how
I just got mine on sale and was seeing the same 11mm to 22mm and f stop results. I thought my lens was bad . Thanks for this review . Love it . Have the 23 1.4 and 56
10mm isn't as bad as 24mm.
Using the right aperture makes a bigger difference.
And cheers for the comment, I really appreciate it.
@@ThomasBusbyPhotography
No problem. Andy Mumford and this review is the best so far
If possible, it would be great if this video could be updated with the kind of resolution charts featured in later videos :-)
Unfortunately I cant edit a current video, but might consider doing a second review of it as I did learn far more about reviews after doing this video.
@@ThomasBusbyPhotography , sounds great, and I suppose the lens is popular enough to justify that :-)
Please review the firmware update 6.0 for the Xh2S
Kia ora Thomas! great review!
That said, having used both this and the 8-16 ( on its way to you lol), I would buy the latter. Super sharp at all apertures and the corner sharpness is astonishing. And yes, it holds up in Milford Sound under a waterfall!
However....i reckon, bang for $$$, the 10-24 would suit most photogs just fine. The 8-16 costs 4 hearts, 2 livers and 19 spleens, and I am not sure most would see the difference. only those with terminal GAS...
#xphotographer
Hahahaha cheers Tony, you do save a spleen with the cashbacks sometimes 😄😄
Totally agree with your review! This lens is incredible. I’ve been using it for a year now and wouldn’t use 23mm or 24mm. I actually don’t mind the quality of 10 and 11mm if I need to go that wide. I have noticed though, when I’m casually shooting and I have on the wide focus mode on, it tends to focus more on things on the right side of the screen. Almost like a magnet unless there an obvious object on the left. I’d say there’s an 80% tendency to focus on the right. I’ve updated the lens’s firmware and also used it on my X-T2, X-T3, X-H1 and X-T4. Would like to know if you’ve had this experience as well. Thank you!
10mm while pretty sharp in the middle I've found the edges to be REALLY soft and just the little jump up sharpens them up a lot.
I never use wide focus mode sorry so haven't noticed this but I am very curious to see if it does now.
tb- photography Thanks for the response! I usually use single point so it’s not really an issue in the real world but just found it odd! Yea the 10mm edges are pretty mush 😅
No worries at all, and yeah I'm a single point or manual focus kinda guy as well.
Cheers for all the comments! You rock.
I am looking forward to buy this lens, so beside the Fuji which other do you recommend in this range? Thanks for sharing your thought it helps a lot
I haven't tested any of the non fujis yet sorry, that will come afterwards.
But cheers for the comment and support, I really appreciate it.
tb- photography tus is for the feedback 👍 cheers
Just got this lens, mostly for real estate work, but my copy has terrible problems with flaring and ghosting.. wondering if I have a defective copy, haven't found anyone complaining about this on the internet
Where abouts is the flaring ?
Would the fact that all the focusing is done on the inside meaning that it doesnt extend when focusing make it ok for weather? Seems like that would be the case
I think most of weather sealing actually comes from around the focus rings and near the mount, Fuji have a new WR version now with these changes
Now that the 10-24 wr is around, does that nearly deal breaking feature fix it for you?
In the end it all really depends on what's important for you and what kinda work you like to do.
Giving it WR is really nice but I very recently just had the choice of being either that or the 16mm f/1.4 again, and I decided on the 16mm as my work is shifting more towards astro and large prints.
I do really miss the 10mm side of things for my general (none astro) work, but I think I'm going to fill the space with a GFX option.
Can you do a zoom test with you in front of the lens?
Fuji should come up with 2.8 for this wide angle zoom
I’d like that as well
Excellent review mate, I have an XT-200, is this lense too good for this camera LOL
Not at all, some of my best selling prints were taken with this lens on a much worse camera than the xt200
@@ThomasBusbyPhotography Thanks heaps for your reply :)
No worries at all
Do you have the table of sharpness o this Lens likes the other lenses you reviewed?
I do now, if you wanna pm me on IG I'll send it to you.
I didn't think to put them in the video when I made this one.
Fantastic,thanks i pm u on Instagram
How's this lens for video ? Vlogging style videos ??
This is pretty old now but pretty much all of this is filmed with the xt2 and the 10-24.
ruclips.net/video/xmjjujtTwRM/видео.html
Hope it helps.
For walking and talking it's the best lens from Fuji.
But I personally have changed to the 23mm f/2 now and use a tripod and don't walk and talk.
@@ThomasBusbyPhotography Yes sir, but I would like to use my Camera as travel filmmaker and with lots of vlog style conversation.
I have also thought about Zeiss Touit 12mm F2.8. as this lens can be used for Vlogging as well as astrophotography and Time-lapses.
Also I am confused between Fujifilm XT4 and Panasonic Lumix S5 which one would you recommend ?
Kindly help.
I haven't used the panasonic to have a opinion sorry, nor have I used the Zeiss.
Is it sharp at end 24mm?
Compared to most of it's zoom range, no
Is it sharper at 16mm comparing to 16-80 f4?
I'd imagine so but don't have the stats to answer exactly sorry
@@ThomasBusbyPhotography I am thinking to get this lens for video, short films of nature and travel, as I have 16mm f1,4 but with the video crop of XT4 it is not wide enough. What do you think, or should i consider something else?
I think the 10-24 for video as a wide option is perfect
fortunately there is now a WR Version
Yeah this was done well before the WR, still the same glass in both though so take from this what you can, and give it a bit of credit for the new one
@@ThomasBusbyPhotography yeah - just heard the new one is the exakt same Lens Design. I think a geht the new one. WR and aperture ring are much liked Features.
I’d 100% pay the difference for the kind of work I do, both those features I’d use constantly
@@ThomasBusbyPhotography thank you so much for your reviews. Whenever I need detailed information about a lens I not own I can come to you 🤩. I will use it for landscape and also my wedding photography business
Yeah I used it for years for both of those two types of work and would happily buy it again
[ Chromatic aberration ]
I am unsure why you have said this?
@@ThomasBusbyPhotography sorry, I just thought I heard you said, "Chromeratic aberration," in numerous occasions. It just annoyed me for a while thinking about it, but really no biggy. I apologize! if I annoyed you. :)
Oh I very much might have, I have shocking pronunciation specially on camera.
And no worries at all appreciate the polite suggestion / correction.
