ephotozine completed its technical review of the Fujinon XF 10-24. See the charts, the samples and read more at ephotozine here.
“Yet again, Fujifilm has produced an excellent quality lens that should exceed the expectations of even the most discerning photographer. The sharpness delivered by this lens is outstanding, focusing is quick and precise and the robust build helps to assert that this is a quality piece of equipment.
The price of £850 may seem a little high when compared to alternatives available for other camera systems, but in this case, quality is probably worth paying extra for.
The Fujifilm Fujinon XF 10-24mm f/4 R OIS is an excellent quality lens that should exceed the expectations of even the most discerning photographer.”

Looks like the new 10-24 f4 OIS produces a sterling performance (like most Fuji lenses). I simply wish that Canon will develop a good 2nd generation 17-40 f4L (it’s patented and rumored and it will probably have IS) to use it along my 6D.
I like Fuji and I think they are doing a great job right from the beginning of the X system. I look forward to the next 2.8 weather sealed lenses from Fuji and maybe they will add 1/8000 shutter speed to their next X-Pro…

Wait, what?
Good lens indeed. Also, really low distortions. This is my primary lens on my E.
As much as I want to read about how sharp the 10-24 is, another photographer’s review presented on this site has uncovered a noticeable lack of sharpness when compared to two Fuji primes that fall within this range: the 14mm and the 23mm. Jordan Steele from Admiring Light compares the three:

Some of the crops at the corners show very noticeable softness in the zoom. However, this is pixel peeping at 100% and perhaps for many this just isn’t going to be an issue. I know that Jordan’s review made me reconsider the zoom.
I’m so tempted to get this lens but with a new fast wide prime looming I’m holding off. Come on Patrick, let’s get a rumor started. What will the specs be????
Here is the overall MTF comparison chart for XF lens.
