Fujifilm FUJINON XF 10-24mm F/4 R OIS WR

This FUJINON zoom serves Fujifilm X photographers who work wide. On APS-C bodies, the 10–24mm range suits landscapes, city streets, architecture and interiors. At 10mm it takes in a whole room or a broad stretch of coast. At 24mm it still frames a wide building front while easing the stretch that 10mm gives.

The f/4 maximum aperture is the main trade-off. It stays constant through the zoom, so the same maximum serves every focal length, but it passes less light in dim interiors. Fujifilm launched this lens in 2020, and it remains in production.

At 13.6 oz (385 g), the lens keeps the measured weight light for a wide zoom. It runs 3.43 in (87 mm) long and 3.06 in (77.6 mm) wide.

The front thread takes 72mm screw-in filters, so an ND filter for smoothing water or bright skies fits straight on.

On the APS-C format, the zoom runs from a very wide view at 10mm to a moderate one at 24mm. It suits interior scenes, courtyards, layered landscapes and any setting where the space itself tells the story. At 10mm, straight lines near the frame edges stretch, so keep the camera level for building fronts.

The f/4 maximum is available at every focal length. Daylight and well-lit interiors rarely trouble it. Inside a dim church or after sunset you will likely raise the ISO or use a tripod. Our optics score for this lens is 67/100.

Depth of field runs deep at these focal lengths. That keeps whole scenes sharp from foreground stones to distant hills, and it suits the way most wide work is framed. It also limits isolation of a single subject, so wide environmental portraits are a better fit than close, blurred-background ones.

The lens focuses as close as 1.6 ft (50 cm). That lets you place stones, a doorway or wildflowers close to the camera, with the wide scene still filling the frame behind. This layering suits the way wide compositions are usually built.

The lens is sealed against dust and moisture, the WR in its name. The sealing helps reduce the risk of dust and moisture entering the lens during use.

In-lens optical stabilisation helps keep handheld frames steady at slower shutter speeds. That is useful in interiors where tripods are banned, and at dusk when you want to keep the ISO low.

There is no zoom lock, so you cannot fix the focal length for carrying. There is no fluorine coating either, a treatment that helps water and oil shed from the front glass. Our features score is 52/100.

The optical design includes aspherical elements. Their specially shaped surfaces help correct distortion, which matters here because wide frames often hold straight walls and horizons. Low-dispersion glass helps reduce chromatic aberration, the coloured fringes that can appear along high-contrast edges such as branches against a bright sky.
