David Hobby's Fuji 10-24mm f/4 sample images

[lynnb]

See here on PetaPixel, and here for his Flickr set.

We won’t deign to draw any conclusions just from having looked at a few samples, but Hobby had this to say after trying out the new glass:

This thing is the real deal: Tack sharp wide open, surprisingly rectilinear and with RIDICULOUS optical image stabilization.

wow, frighteningly sharp!

this is more tempting than the 56mm for me...

not looking for anything quite that wide…but it sure does give an interesting effect…we live in good times.

This is the lens that I'm waiting for!

Still wondering what that "fast wide-angle lens" is on Fuji's roadmap, scheduled for release in mid-2014. Until I see that, I'll hold off on considering any of the other new toys Fuji is throwing at us. 🙂

problem is, both are tempting for me :bang:

OMG, this lens puts the Canon L and Nikkor professional ultra wide equivalent SLR zoom lenses to shame !!!

I will wait with interest for Roger Cicala's review of this lens over on his lens rentals blog.

Just been thinking about which lens next on another thread. Changed my mind - I'll definitely be investigating this one when it's available.
