REVIEWED: Fujifilm XF 10-24mm f/4 OIS: Examples and More (Carrizo Plain, X-Pro2)

Fujifilm XF 10-24mm f/4 R OIS

Get Fujifilm X-Pro2 and Fujifilm XF 10-24mm f/4 and Fujifilm XF lens at B&H Photo.

The Fujifilm XF 10-24mm f/4 OIS is a fun lens to shoot in the field. After the XF 35mm f/2, it was my favorite on my recent trip to the Carrizo Plain National Monument.

I particularly like the 10-12mm range for the steep perspective; it reminds me of using the Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8G, or the Canon 11-24mm f/4L.

But how does the XF 10-24mm perform across the zoom range on the 24-megapixel Fujifilm X-Pro2? I gave it a good look in a variety of ways, seeking to understand its behavior in a practical way for field use.

Images at sizes up to 24 megapixels (full-res). Some of the images used are shown below.

The aperture series all show the conversion settings used (including B&W), and that in itself may be quite useful to Fujifilm X shooters. Adobe Camera Raw was used, with two stage sharpening, with diffraction mitigating sharpening for smaller apertures. Fujifilm X-Pro2 raw RAF files remain a challenge (and in truth, a hassle as compared to most cameras), but I think I have it reasonably nailed down for most outdoor type shots now.

The mimicry of ACROS film is good enough as a starting point, but the custom Photoshop Black & White layer conversion used here is far superior to the ACROS version because tonal relationships could be modified for the desired effect in sky and grass, a huge advantage over a fixed tonal mapping. The aperture series for this image shows all the conversion settings used.
