Fujifilm X-Mount Zoom XF10-24mmF4 R OIS Lens Specification

The Fujifilm X-Mount Zoom XF10-24mmF4 R OIS Lens is a versatile ultra-wide-angle lens designed for Fujifilm's X-series mirrorless cameras. It features a focal length range of 10-24mm, offering a 35mm equivalent of 15-36mm, making it ideal for landscape, architecture, and interior photography. The lens maintains a constant maximum aperture of F4 throughout the zoom range, providing consistent performance in various lighting conditions.

The optical construction comprises 14 elements in 10 groups, including four aspherical elements and three extra-low dispersion elements. These elements work together to minimize distortion, chromatic aberrations, and spherical aberrations, delivering sharp and high-contrast images even at the widest aperture. The lens also benefits from Fujifilm's HT-EBC (High Transmittance Electron Beam Coating) which reduces lens flare and ghosting, enhancing image clarity and color fidelity.

Incorporating Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), the lens compensates for camera shake, allowing for handheld shooting at slower shutter speeds without compromising image sharpness. This feature is particularly beneficial in low-light conditions or when shooting video. The lens also features a responsive inner focusing system and a stepping motor, enabling fast and quiet autofocus performance.

The XF10-24mmF4 R OIS is designed with a robust, high-quality build. It includes a weather-sealed construction that protects against dust and moisture, making it suitable for challenging shooting environments. The lens is lightweight and compact, enhancing portability and ease of handling. Additionally, it offers a close focusing distance of 24cm, expanding creative possibilities for wide-angle macro-style shots. With its blend of advanced optical performance and practical usability, the Fujifilm XF10-24mmF4 R OIS lens is a valuable tool for photographers seeking dynamic, high-quality images.
