10-24mm

Always look on the “wide” side of life – The Fujifilm XF 10-24mm f/4 Review

23/10/2014 By Mathieu 14 Comments

We bought the Fujinon XF 10-24mm with the Fujifilm X-T1 six months ago and it is the lens I have used the most on the X-T1 since then. I’ve always loved wide-angle lenses, with a personal preferences for fixed focal lengths. This is why I always thought that the XF 14mm f/2.8 I tested on the X-Pro1 last year would be my ideal choice, but after using the 10-24mm extensively, I am not so sure about this anymore.

Change your focal length, renew your vision: Using the XF 10-24mm f/4 in Turin

Too often I’ve wandered aimlessly around Turin with a standard 35mm or 50mm equivalent attached to my camera, hoping in vain that the buildings, monuments, streets and people will somehow reveal an unknown facet of themselves to me to cure the monotony of the daily shoot. Don’t get me wrong: I love being out on the streets of this vibrant city with a camera in my hand but sometimes, everything around me, regardless of how beautiful, tends to lose its significance. I believe this is a common ailment called photographer’s block.

Three days walking through the Cinque Terre with the Fuji X-T1 & XF 10-24mm f/4

Note: in December 2014, Fujifilm released the firmware version 3.00 that adds several new features to the camera including electronic shutter, Classic Chrome picture profile and many other things.

Despite living only three hours away from the Cinque Terre National Park, I had never set foot there before. There isn’t any particular reason except that I was probably waiting for a good excuse to go there, and that happened exactly last week when Heather and I took advantage of the long Easter weekend. Fresh air, long walks and a new camera/lens to accompany us: the perfect combination to escape work and enjoy one of the most unique and beautiful places in Italy.
