Hands-on Review of the Fujifilm XF 10-24mm f4 OIS WR

[@tonyelsom]

I love the 10 24 lens but was always frustrated by not having a numbered aperture ring. As soon as the mk2 model came out I updated and am very happy I did. The wr and extra stop of ois is a bonus. Paired with my xt3 it is a match made in heaven.

[@JimiMiki]

How's the AF speed?

[@brucecolman3402]

Thanks for pulling this video together, nice to see this lens get an update.

[@cottagegymfun]

Peasant here. Still pairing the XT1 with the original XF 10-24. The new bodies and the updated lens are truly improved over the OG. Maybe one day when I have more funds :)

[@leojonkers3181]

I am happy with the "old" one. Not enough has changed to bye the new one. I sure would like the normal aparture ring, but I live with it. I mostly shoot looking through the viewfinder. It is better with the new one, but not to pay a lot of money. The mark I is still a very nice lens.

I 've had the 1st gen version for about 5 years & it's been around the world many times. Had to have it serviced once as some dust specs had accumulated - all to be expected with a lot of use. A well worn but not abused lens that has proven itself but for me the upgrade to the new version is worth it to gain the weather sealing as I've missed some shots in the past because of very bad weather that I wouldn't take a non-WR lens into.

[@skipper4114]

I have purchased about $20,000 worth of gear over the past 5 years from the Camera store and I will continue to do so in the future. Love the service and the people. I actually met you the last time Dave when I got a Peak Design Tripod. Cheers from the North.

[@DaveTCSTV]

Thanks for saying all that. I will pass it along. Make sure you say hi the next time you pop in.

[@Mindartcreativity]

5:42 now that's a user experience statement I haven't really heard in other camera/lens reviews but I agree. The lens settings are on the lens and the camera settings are on the camera. Fujifilm got that absolute right. Why don't other manufacturers get that right?

[@opalyankaBG]

All manufacturers did so 40+ years ago so it's not a novelty.

[@Paul_Rohde]

@@opalyankaBG Obviously the comment was for cameras being manufactured & used now.

[@AlainLafleche1]

Thanks for the video. I would like to see a comparaison against the Venus Optics Laowa 9mm f/2.8 Zero-D Lens.

[@m.philip]

I have a Laowa 9mm. The vignetting at 2.8 is horrible. I think its overpriced for what it does.

[@gregturner_awod]

Great review of an excellent lens. I’ve recently bought one (in regional NSW Australia, where I live) after switching from Sony full frame to the Fuji XT4. I’m still to give it much use, but enjoy the reviews I’ve seen and yours gave really good advice as to how to use the lens to best advantage.

[@jadenkerr914]

thanks for the great review, m thinking of buying a 10-24mm :)

[@ARCAdventures]

Great video! Quick question as I'm looking for recommendations. I have the Fuji X-T200 and primarily use it in video mode with the standard lens. As vloggers, it is hard to stand the camera up and back far enough while we are doing a food review for our heads to still be in the picture.. So thinking a wider angle lens might just do the trick.. Our other big issue is we cannot use the flip out viewscreen in conjunction with our Crane M2 gimbal so I am wondering if built in stabilization from a lens like this could allow us to discontinue using the gimbal? Ideally, we want stable on-the-go vlogging as well as the ability to stand up the camera on a joby to get us and the food in a shot at once! It's been a tricky problem so far!! Thanks so much! :-)

[@robertdoeleman3471]

So no real image quality difference compared to the previous lens? Would have liked to see the purple flare/dot issue tested as at 10mm mine shows that in strong light. Also a tendency to sometimes have slightly blurry areas in the photo. Think IOS or something. Andy mumford also showed this. Not dealbreaker but still. If these are not present in the nee version than yes I would upgrade and even sell the 8-16 as it is huge in my bag, but an epic lens still.

[@charlesellenberger8067]

Really nice job! Your presentation was dead on. Thank you from a full-time Fujifilm user.

[@JessDemant]

Again a great review, thanks :)

[@paulbeckmann]

Brilliant review! Thanks! Very helpful!

[@eliaspap8708]

thanks for sharing, Is the AF improved?. I found the original one a bit hit and miss especially low light

[@faisalsheraz8101]

Nice Review...thanks for the tips..

[@geirjohannesen667]

I have just traded my old 10-24mm for the new WR and it actually is better in use in every way even if the optical quality may be the same.

[@Topsyrm]

The new variant addressed the 2 issues I had with V1 (that I sold) WR and hard stop aperture ring. Bought the V2 as soon as I could.

[@ksnmurthy4476]

That's a great review. How about 23 mm F1.4 for landscapes.Which one do one has to prefer in both of them. Thank for that excellent details presentation

[@IqbalKurniawan]

Thanks for the excellent review Dave! Been wondering what's new with the 10-24 mm F4 mark II. Hope its release makes the used mark I be even more affordable. BTW, been a while since the last time I see Evelyn? Where's she?

[@TheCameraStoreTV]

I've been doing more behind the scenes lately. But, I will be doing more on camera again in the new year.

[@NJM1948]

Very good review. I noticed that the OIS switch has been omitted on the new model. Given it will be used on a tripod a lot for landscape work, does it switch off automatically? (I have XT3 with no IBIS)

[@FuscoFitnessJourney]

You can turn it off in camera I believe, but there’s no option on the lens to turn it off and on.

[@greger589]

Thanks 👍 is the lens made in Japan?

[@zkevin024]

Philippines :)

[@thegrayyernaut]

The Red-badged ones are, if where it is made really matters to you. . Hint: It doesn't. What matters is Fujifilm's Quality Control. Even the lenses Made in China are good.

[@Rooftopaccessorizer]

Tbh not sure if ill buy this or the previous one. I do like the idea of the weather resistance, but ive also see the older 10-24 used for half as much. At that point I almost feel like its worth the inconvenience of avoiding shooting in the rain to save up. I could buy another lens with the savings

[@ahmonon4352]

Great pictures Dev

[@davex142]

Lack of WR was the major downside of this lens for serious ladscape adventures. Fuji 10-24 was already one of the most popular lens, now with the weather sealing it will sell like hotcakes :D

[@funkyboogiee]

I'm selling my original 10-24 largely because there's no aperture ring! Shooting real estate is super annoying w/o the ring and I bump it all the time! All the other features of the new design are great too! Just bought a new model today and putting up the older one on ebay soon!

[@CopyRightOC]

What's the song at the beginning, really like it! :)

[@chrisscott-mckenzie548]

Great Video!

[@fernandoguerrero2895]

Fuji is not the only camera that uses filters. Olympus cameras have implemented filters since the more than 8 years ago. Some of them are usable some of them are not, but they also do it.

[@markpollon3138]

Might be worth the upgrade to join the ‘bad ass’ club!

[@AlexanderBischof]

Thanks for that good review

[@poudrieres]

It is good to see Fuji adding R and WR to this lens. For me this lens was too wide and not long enough, so I have sold mine. I would love to see some kind of 14-35/2.8 lens.

[@thegrayyernaut]

It has always had an R, an aperture ring, just not numbered.

[@sandyclyburn5675]

I thought the specs read 4 ED elements....not 3..?????

[@markbrickley]

Nice review as always...where's evelyn though, she's been missing from the last few vids?

[@TheCameraStoreTV]

I've been working more behind the scenes during the latest "lockdown" in our area. But, I just show an episode with the guys last week and will be doing more again in the new year.

[@stephencosta6814]

One of my favorite viewers great job great pictures to keep up the good work PS I’m missing your female partner you guys are an excellent team the best in the business

[@DaveTCSTV]

Thanks for your kind words. I miss my co-host as well, not to worry, Ev will be back on camera again soon.

[@thegrayyernaut]

Y'all missed an "R" in the lens' name in the title, for the aperture ring.

[@MartinHarvey]

Excelled nt review thanks. I have a 16-55 (and X-Pro2) and shoot mainly landscape and this would be complementary but maybe a relative luxury!
