Fujifilm updates XF10-24mm f/4

The original Fujifilm XF10-24mm f/4 R OIS was a popular choice among X-Series owners and rightly so, because it was a fine, very capable lens. However, while this new XF10-24mm f/4 R OIS WR has the same focal length range, covering the 35mm format equivalent of 15-36mm, there have been important and worthwhile improvements.

On its build, the addition of the initials WR to the lens name tells you that the lens is now weather and dust resistant, and the lens’ aperture ring now has f/stops marked. The lens optical image stabiliser has been enhanced by 1EV, too, and the benefit has been increased to 3.5EV.

The lens’s optical construction has been refreshed as well, now with 14 elements, including four aspherical lenses and extra-low dispersion elements to minimise aberrations and deliver an even better edge-to-edge performance.

The autofocus is near-silent and very accurate, with the lightweight focusing elements reacting very rapidly to the situation, even when the subject is moving around
the frame.

The XF10-24mm f/4 R OIS WR is available from late November for £899.
