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?
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"
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.
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!
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.
@@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
@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.
Basically, still use mine every week. Actually dropped and broke my last one and had to immediately order a replacement since it’s so essential to my business.
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.

I dont usually leave comments on videos but really appreciate you starting with sample shots and videos!
The photos are amazing in my humble opinion. And the shots you got came out great, especially the car shots.
Gonna go check out your short film.
As I do site construction and architecture pictures and videos it’s my workhorse 👍

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

I have the old one and its as sharp as primes everywhere.. At a glance it it makes the sharpest photos
Do you own an XF 10-24mm f/4 or one of the competing lenses from Sigma or Tamron? Let me know your experience!

I’m trying to decide between this and the Sigma 18-50mm. 🤔
They’re pretty different in terms of focal length and aperture no? Wouldn’t the Fuji 18-55 be a better comparison?
Sigma 10-18mm f/2.8 is the best comparison
Short answear, yes

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