Lenstip Review 10-24mm F4

[MaxElmar]

Interesting Review from Lenstip of the 10-24. Wow - they really hit it out of the park at 10mm. Not so much at 24mm.... But who buys a wide zoom for the long end?

It's also quite a porker. Big, fat, and heavy. But you want a high-performance zoom, that's the price you pay.

I use this lens a lot. This is a fair review.

My example outperforms the Nikkor FX 17-35/2.8, and 16-35/4, DX 12-24/4 and Tokina 11-16/2.8 lenses I've owned in edge sharpness, corrected barrel distortion (mostly first order) and ghosting.The lateral CA is a bit higher than the 16-35/4 though LR corrects this without any fiddling around.

I typically use/used these lenses at 14mm (APS-C) or 20 mm (FX) at F 5.6 to F 10. I have noticed the Fujinon is surprisingly useful at 10 mm. With the other WA zooms I would never use them at their shortest possible focal length because all aspects of IQ seem to drop off rapidly at the end of the zoom range.

Willie_901 : do you use the Fuji 14/2.8 as well? If so, would you say it's comparable to the zoom at that focal length?
