Very good comparison video as usual, I have the XF10-24 WR and I’m very happy with the results that I get on the X-T4, but to be honest, I only use the lens once in blue moon, I got it because I wanted a new toy for my collection, 95% of my photos are taken with the XF16-80 and the XF70-300, for anything else I use primes. Be well and stay safe.
I experience that problem with the distance display in the camera being very erratic with the 10-24. I had such a problem I set back my lens and camera to Fujifilm for repair. They said no problem. Thank you for letting me know you have the same problem. I wish neither of us had that problem.
I believe it's more than just you and me. It's a widespread thing. I definitely wish I didn't have it, but it didn't affect the result, so I'd call it an avoidable annoyance
An excellent review as always Luca! I have the 10-24 and have been considering the Tamron as I don’t find my Fuji lens sharp enough for architecture/interiors these days. You raise a really important point at the end. I love my Fuji cameras (I use the GFX system as well) but I’ve started to question their lens options too. I recently bought the Viltrox 75mm in preference to the new Fuji 56. I currently have the Sigma 23 1.4 on pre-order instead of the Fuji equivalent. These are used less for me than my core Fuji lenses like the 33mm and 50-140, but offer options Fuji does not at the price. I think Fuji are to be applauded for opening up the X mount, but it will hurt them if they can’t keep up with 3rd party options.
Thanks! I don't think opening up the mount is hurting them... As a paradox is actually helping them keep the system more flexible. I would've had the same concerns even if the third party option was not available... And I would've probably felt more prone to switching somewhere else if it wasn't for these third party options. I hope they're taking notes on what buyers want to expand their lens selection in the future
Great video Luca! By the way, the Fuji is not Internal zoom. It just doesn't have much that moves. It is still definitely a pumper though. The nice part about the design is that with a UV filter, you are still sealing it all up pretty well. If it was internal, the elements that move would be literally inside the lens. Just thought I'd mention that. As for the character of the lenses though, the color and contrast just look nicer and more accurate on the Fuji not to mention I believe the micro contrast is far better on the fuji. I've never been a fan of the Tampon "look" which seems to be consistent across their line of lenses. There is also something to be said for the extra millimeter of the Fuji. Its a lot wider.
Ive the 10-24 on a X-H2 and a X-T3 and i like it very much. I think the better sharpness with the Tamron on the 40mp sensor comes because the Fujifilm lenscontruction is very old. But for that what i use this lens its mostly stopped down to 5.6 to 8 so i dont need the 2.8 on this lens. The aperturering and the Ois on the newer wr version are very important for me too. So i think i stay with the fuji, thank you for the comparison ! Like your Videos keep up the good work =)
The Tamron is sharper, but it shows relatively strong chromatic aberrations (to my taste) while the Fuji doesn`t. Anyway, my future wide angle combo will be XF 8mm 3,5 + Viltrox 13mm 1,4 + XF 16-55mm 2,8 (best range, IQ, aperture). But i accept, that a zoom lens will be more flexible for most guys.
Arter being a die hard prime user I bought this little gem, the Tamron 11-20, and it’s almost glued to my recently bought Fujifilm X-T5. I complemented with the older but still wonderful Fujinon 35 mm f1.4 and could not be happier. It’s a very light travel and everyday set.
Nice Review. Thank you. So you are thinking of selling the viltrox&fuji and keeping the tamron? The stabilization of the fuji 10-24 seems very good. When you are filming outside or vlogging this could be useful.😊
fuji definetly needs to put out 15-35 2.8 equivalent, also it blows my mind that they updated the 56mm, and kept the old focus motor, which is terrible for video. Also they should innovate with a 20-50 midrange zoom, just like MFT and Sony did (10-25 1.7 MFT, and 20-70 f4 Sony, we can also include the panasonic 20-60 FF lens as well). I am a new Fuji user (switched from Sony recently), and even tho I am happy with my current Fuji 23 1.4 WR, and Sigme 56 1.4 (with 13mm viltrox on the way), I would love to see fuji introduce an f2 general zoom in the 14-35mm range for example (about 20-50 FF equivalent), and considering tamron makes 20-40 2.8 FF COMPACT lens, and panasonic makes 10-25 1.7 MFT lens, not to mention the wildly popular 18-35 1.8 sigma for DSLR, I do think that this lens is absolutely possible for short flange mirrorless APS-C mount!
after i bought tamron 11-20mm i was more inclined to sell 16-80 f4, the only reason i hold it up because wide end 16mm for indoor and tight space, and now i don't need to bring my flash everytime 😊
Is the intent to swap it with the 17-70? If so, that's what I did... I'm still in love with the 16-80, but for my current body of work the tamron combo makes more sense
@@LucaPetraliaPhotography yeah Tamron 17-70, i think best light weight zoom combo lens right now on fuji is 11-20, 17-70, and 70-300. I really wanna buy sigma18-50, but on online market strore in my country i can't find magnetic step up ring 55-77 and if bought new filters it's cost more than 17-70 and more space in bag
With the 11-20, 17-70 and 70-300 you only have one filter size (67mm). So you can, in theory, go super easy with one 67mm polarizer for example, without step up rings
@@LucaPetraliaPhotography It’s funny I own both the 13 mm and the 8 to 16 mm and people ask me why I am both well. Sometimes I don’t have a lot of time and I just want to take a couple of quick shots and 13 mm is my walk about landscape plans if I’ve got time to set up for my shots, then I will take the 8 to 16 mm
There is the other side of the cost difference. How much are you going to get if you sell or trade each lens? My impression is that used third party lenses are almost worthless compared to the lenses by the camera maker. I always enjoy your interesting presentations.
Thanks. You're right on the third party lens resell value, but I'm not buying as an investment, I'm buying what I think is best for what I do. And partially because of this channel
Guarda che con il 10-24 io mi sono avvicinato ai soggetti fino a trarre foto macro nello stesso modo in cui hai fatto con il Tamron. Lo puoi fare ovviamente solo a 10mm ed è divertente.
Good review! Question you have or had Zeiss 12mm F2.8. I like to know if Tamron is better as image quality center to conner then Zeiss on Fuji X-H2 or X-T5. Important i need to choose? I will appreciate if i get anwers ASAP if possible
Thank you for this video. Do you find that chromatic aberration with the Tamron lens remains fairly strong throughout the zoom range? Is it somewhat controllable when stopping down? Thank you.
It never goes away, but it's never dramatic either. You can work on it in post, and it basically goes away. I wouldn't dismiss this lens for this reason
@@LucaPetraliaPhotography Thank you. I appreciate your advice. I have written to the company to find out what accounts for the considerable discrepancy between the prices of the Sony mount version and the XF mount version. It's curious.
Splendido video e splendidi obiettivi ma ho preferito prendere i fuji 8 16 comprato usato a €1000 ed è incredibile come nel tempo è aumentato di prezzo

True, the advantage is there to see, but for my use f2.8 is more important

I agree on pretty much everything you said. You'll definitely love my next video.
Good review. It would be great to have a three-way comparison with the Sigma 10-18 f2.8 included.
Thanks! If Sigma sends me one I'll do it, but I won't buy it

8-16mm..yeah I know it's heavy but it's way way better ..and yes nisi makes a filter kit for it..
I agree with you, but that it is a pain in the a** to use in those situations. The lens is spectacular, I know.

The choice is clear without watching this video - Tamron !
Yes, make that video please that would be awesome
I'll work on it

Hi, I had the Zeiss a while ago. The tamron is, in my opinion, sharper. The Zeiss, as far as I remember, is better with flare

@@mikearst2940 i guess it's only because the Fuji version for launched only now. Prices will be on the same level soon
If so i would get a used Fuji MK I for 350. Best value 😉
Good value, not so sure about best value however
The tamron just has so much chromatic aberration, even in the wall sharpness test it's greed and red all over
