I dont usually leave comments on videos but really appreciate you starting with sample shots and videos!

[@crazypabs1]

The photos are amazing in my humble opinion. And the shots you got came out great, especially the car shots.

[@crazypabs1]

Gonna go check out your short film.

Ive had the old one for years. I just got the new one and did some serious lixel peeping and my old one was noticeablly sharper. Obviously i wanted to like and keep the new one but i couldn't justify paying for a new lens that wasn't even as good as the one that i currently own.

[@W4rcrafter]

I have the old one and its as sharp as primes everywhere.. At a glance it it makes the sharpest photos

Hey Matt, I am a beginner photographer and I try to do a lot of things like landscape, events, astro, travel so I need something very versatile. But I am confused between this and Viltrox 13mm 1.4. This 10-24 is better for versatility and landscape but Viltrox is good for astro and events and that nice creamy bokeh. Can you please guide in which direction I should go?

[@randyk1919]

Jumping in here.. each fits somewhat different use cases so you're the ultimate judge of where you'd like to take your photography. But If you're a beginner I'd recommend the Viltrox for a couple reasons, at least: 1) the fast f1.4 aperture is far better suited to low light and astro, and 2) it's highly beneficial to master a single focal length, first. While zooms are also great, the notion of purposely limiting one's options can help build your compositional and visualization skills more quickly than a zoom can. And zooms can tend to make one lazy when composing.. quite often the more interesting fields of view and perspectives can be found by "zooming with your feet"

[@Haarun02]

Wow I’m literally in this exact same situation with both choices… and unsure what to do too 😂

[@MattJacobs]

Do you own an XF 10-24mm f/4 or one of the competing lenses from Sigma or Tamron? Let me know your experience!

[@71co0k]

I’m trying to decide between this and the Sigma 18-50mm. 🤔

[@MattJacobs]

They’re pretty different in terms of focal length and aperture no? Wouldn’t the Fuji 18-55 be a better comparison?

[@ElioFrongia]

Sigma 10-18mm f/2.8 is the best comparison

[@vincentong7775]

Hi, im considering about this lens from Fuji, as well as Tamron & Sigma all with similar focal lengths. However, i noticed only this fuji lens had image stabilisation, but this lens only gives F4, if possible i would like a lens w F2.8. I was wondering if you could suggest me any alternatives lenses w this range of focal length but also comes with image stabilisation? Thanks!

[@MattJacobs]

I unfortunately don’t think there are any ultra wide zooms available for Fuji that both have an f/2.8 aperture and optical stabilization. Event their huge expensive 8-16mm doesn’t have it, and no third parties have it in their wide zooms that I can find. I personally think with AI denoise nowadays you can get away with f/4, at least I do.

[@vincentong7775]

@@MattJacobs ah I see, is there any other lenses that covers this range of focal length that has optional image stabilisation then? F4 would be fine as well

[@MattJacobs]

@vincentong7775 why not just get the Fuji 10-24? I’ve since broke the copy. I reviewed in this video and got a new one and it didn’t have the softness issue in the corner. It’s actually quite a good lens.

[@kloakan1]

wow... it is crazy how poor your copy of the les is... totally decentered optics :/

[@MattJacobs]

Yeah it sucks but I don’t tend to notice unless pixel peeping quite a bit. I use it all the time professionally and you don’t see the recentering in video or at wider focal lengths as much mainly just at 24mm. Wish I had the $ to just buy a better copy.
