    The best video I’ve seen comparing these lenses. Because of you I bought the 8-16mm f2.8 used in brand new condition with the box at my local camera shop. It even smells new as if someone bought it and hardly used it.

    The 8-16mm is expensive (so are some Sony/Canon/Nikon lenses as well), so for me it's not absolutely a deal breaker for price since I think for what it is, it's a fair price. The deal breaker for me tho is partly the weight, and that I need to invest into another filter system. The 10-24mm is not too far behind in terms of image quality and now with weather sealing, aperture ring (plus lighter weight), the mkII version is more appealing to me personally. On paper, I'd rather have the 8-16mm, but for practical everyday use the 10-24mm will better suit my needs. Thank you for taking the time to make this video, very much appreciated watching it. Subscribed and looking forward to more Fujifilm content!

    Hey Andrea! Great review! I will eventually probably buy both. As they both have there strengths and weaknesses. For Events in low light, I think I will prefer the 8-16. For travel and landscape I think I would prefer the 10-24. Because the the weight and the extra reach to 24 mm is very useful if you don't want to change lenses that often.

    Hi Andrea. Excellent comparison, thank you. I have the wonderful 8-16 and once you get past the cost, size, weight and lack of filters it is a truly premium lens. However, when travelling on business with just carry on I find that it and my xt-4 are too much and my wonderful x100v (which I use 95% of the time with the WCL to make it 28 mm equiv) are often not wide enough. I am considering an xe4 with the new 10-24 and found your video very helpful in describing the pros and cons of the new 10-24 vs the 8-16. Great content :-)

    • @AndreaLivieriPhoto
      @AndreaLivieriPhoto  Год назад

      Hi David, thanks so much for the comment, and glad you found the video useful. The 8-16 is definitely not the lightest lens to travel with. I've been using the 10-24 for many years and it's an excellent piece of glass. Compact, lightweight, portable, and the image quality is second to none. I'm not sure about the X-E4, which I find it 2-step back from the other X-Series cameras in terms of usability. For my liking, the X-T30 II or the X-S10 is a much better choice. p.s. the X100V is a stunning camera, love it! :) Ciao

    • @AndreaLivieriPhoto
      @AndreaLivieriPhoto  3 года назад +1

      Hi Elias, thanks for the comment, and glad you enjoyed the video. I've been a wedding photographer for a period in the past, and what I found is that the occasions you use an ultra-wide-angle lens are very few. So, an f/4 wide-angle lens is never been a problem for me in terms of maximum aperture. The benefit of having the OIS has always been a much valuable feature to take advantage of rather than the f/2.8 aperture.
      Moreover, especially in the wedding business, the working days are longer and every single gram counts. So, my suggestion is to properly evaluate not only the extra 1-stop aperture and the wider angle of view of the 8-16, but also consider if the OIS and the global weight can be key additions for a more enjoyable experience in the field.
      I hope you'll found some of my thoughts useful :) Ciao

    I use the 10-24 (for video mainly) on my X-T3) and can't justify the expense of the 8-16 as I shoot most of my stills with a GFX50R. I just wish Fuji did an ultra-wide GF zoom - then I'd be very happy! And very poor!!

    Excellent video Andrea! Looks like an interesting lens, but I would struggle to justify the price and weight over the 10-24. I'm not a big user of filters these days, but I wouldn't fancy buying another system just for the 8-16. And Venice looks WEIRD when it's empty!

    • @AndreaLivieriPhoto
      @AndreaLivieriPhoto  3 года назад +1

      Hey man, as always, thanks so much for stopping by and glad you enjoyed the video! Totally agree, for me too the 10-24 is the perfect sweet spot, price, features, weight and focal range. Actually, photographing at 8mm is quite hard, so many things fall into the frame and sometimes composing is challenging.
      That's not a deal breaker, but it's another variable to consider.
      Yep, Venice looks weird in this period ...crazy! :/
      Have a good one, mate. Ciao :)

    Thanks Andrea, very thorough comparison & review. On my lens for a wide lens for astrophotography, this seems like a great choice but it's price point is too high for me. I am considering the Samyang 12mm f2 instead. Do you have any opinions for that one (or any other suggestions for an astro lens?).

    • @AndreaLivieriPhoto
      @AndreaLivieriPhoto  3 года назад +1

      Hi John, thanks so much for your comment, and glad you enjoyed the video. Yep, the 8-16 is not cheap. I used the Samyang 12mm f2 last year in the Lofoten Islands, and I really enjoyed it. That's the kind of lens, in terms of dimensions and portability, that I much prefer rather than huge bulky lenses. Don't get me wrong, the 8-16 is stunning, but my priority is always to find a compromise between quality and weight. Anyway, the Samyang 12mm has a good quality for its price point. The only thing I'm not a huge fan of it is its colors/contrast. It handles colors in a totally different way than the Fuji lenses; they're not bad but sometimes I ended up with weirdly saturated scenes. So, it's absolutely suitable for night photography; for some specific scenarios is not probably the best option (for my taste, of course). Well, it very dependent if you are more into saturated landscapes or more "neutral" colors. Does it make sense? Ciao :)

The "different" color palette is something that I actually noticed on a lot of pictures that I saw online, but I always thought it was a matter of editing. Good to know that it can be something that needs to be fixed in post. As you said, it definitely seems like a good compromise between size, quality and price. Thanks again!

    Hi Andrea, great review 🙂, did you notice with the Fujifilm XF 10-24mm lens when shooting towards the sun to get ugly purple casts?

    • @AndreaLivieriPhoto
      @AndreaLivieriPhoto  Год назад

      Hi there, thanks so much for the comment, and glad you enjoyed the video. The purple flare you see is caused by reflected light inside the lens (between the different lenses). The intensity of reflections is very low, so you don't see it normally, but if you point your lens directly into the sunlight, you may notice it. However, it is a phenomenon that affects all types of lenses. I hope this helps :)

    Hey Andrea, thanks for your video! I was wondering, do you know if there is a huge difference between the 10-24 and the 8-16 for astro photography? I hesitate because de 10-24 is also more practical for mountain photography. thanks!

    • @AndreaLivieriPhoto
      @AndreaLivieriPhoto  2 года назад

      Thanks so much for the comment, and glad you enjoyed the video. Honestly, I didn't have the opportunity to test the 8-16 for astrophotography, so I can't tell if it's better or not. For sure, the 1-stop brighter difference is a plus, compared with the f4 of the 10-24. Anyway, astrophotography aside, I love the 10-24 for many other reasons like its size, weight, and in my opinion is much more enjoyable to use handheld.
      Now it really depends on your uses :) Ciao

    Wonderful presentation mille grazie. I am an amateur photographer and travel with my X-Pro2 and the 11-16 and the recently acquired 70-300. I also have a GRIII but that's another matter. I would like a super-wide but wouldn't consider any of these beasts as they wouldn't fit in my Peak Design 6L everyday sling. I'm toying with the idea of a 12mm and like the look of the Zeiss but expensive and very compact. Also expensive for occasional use. There are the Viltrox 13mm or the Rokinon 12mm which are compact and less expensive. Or maybe just stick with my 11-16! Thanks again.

The Fuji 10-24 might be a great option. I've been using it for many years and it's never disappointed me. The focal range is great for both wide-angle shots and relatively wide shots (35mm FF equivalent). Working with zoom lenses when I travel is key.
