1) Fujinon XF 10-24 test with many crops compared to Canon’s flagship wide angle zoom, the 16-35 mm 1:2.8 L II USM at martin-doppelbauer: “I have been shooting with enthusiast and professional SLRs since 25 years and wide angle landscape has always been my favorite. This Fuji XF 10-24 is one of the best wide angle zooms I have ever used in all those years. There is not one focal length that will let you down. Even wide open at f/4 this lens gives very good results. Stepped down by one stop will get you rid of the already low vignetting completely. Distortion is also low and purple fringing (chromatic aberration) practically doesn’t exist. When using out-of-the-camera JPEGs, vignetting and distortion are automatically corrected. On the downside, the XF 10-24 is relatively big and heavy for small cameras like the X-E1/2 or X-T1.”
2) Fuji XF 10-24mm vs Fuji XF 14mm f/2.8 and Fuji XF 23mm f/1.4 at admiringlight: “Well, the results are largely how I expected them to play out. The 10-24mm is shaping up to be a very good ultra-wide zoom, but like most ultra-wide zooms, it’s not going to perform as well as a top-notch prime lens. To be fair, this is seriously stiff competition.”

Big and heavy Maybe, The Canon FD 400 f4.5 at 2# and over 13″ long is big. LOL Yeah you pick the lens up camera comes with it!
Is the blur in corner samples of XF14 at F2.8 – F5.6 caused by focusing error? I would expect XF14 to perform better. What do you think about the samples?
…especially since the 2nd review contradicts with the samples, showing the XF14 has advantage in corners at the same aperture…
Maybe it is a focusing error, maybe the lens is not centered properly. Maybe a mix of both, maybe just a mess-up of pictures.
Based on those images, If IQ was what mattered I would buy the Canon setup.
Yeah, in my opinion the sample images are pretty soft…like they need sharpening.
comparing apsc with FF is like apple and baobabs. one is for the screaming moms and other is for a niche market of pro users
Professional baobab users is a very small niche indeed.
Would like to see this lens compared to the Nikon 16-35mm f/4 as well – my personal experience with the Nikkor lens was that it was pretty mushy in the corners and lots of CA.
I’ve been waiting for this 10-24mm lens. I usually use a B+W Multi coated UV filter to protect all my lenses. For this Ultra Wide lens, will a regular filter cause any extra vignetting? should I get a B+W slim filter to reduce the chance of vignetting, especially at 10 mm f4?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
I’m a little puzzled by the However, except for some parts (like the camera flange) this lens is mostly not made of metal.
claim – is it really made of plastic despite the claim of a metal construction on the spec sheet?
