Fujifilm Fujinon XF 10-24mm f/4 R OIS Lens Review

Fujifilm Fujinon XF 10-24mm f/4 R OIS Handling and Features

Fujifilm Fujinon XF 10 24mm F4 R OIS Lens (6)

Similar retro styling to other lenses in this range has been applied and the combination of metal and high quality plastics, has resulted in robust build. The lens is considerably lighter than it looks, weighing only 410g. As a result it complements the Fujifilm X-Pro1 used for testing very well.

Focusing and zoom are performed within the lens, so the filter thread does not move during operation. As a result, the 72mm filter thread does not rotate, making it perfect for use with polarising and graduated filters. A petal-shaped hood attaches to the bayonet around the front of the lens. The manual focusing ring is well damped, making fine adjustments a pleasure to apply.

To complement the retro styling of Fujifilm's X-series cameras, this lens has a manual aperture ring for selecting your desired setting in a more traditional way. The aperture ring has no values marked on it, so the screen needs to be referred to, to find the aperture setting. The aperture ring provides control in third stop intervals and only requires a light touch to move through the aperture range. This is great for making quick adjustments. Auto focus is quick and precise, with little hunting for focus.
