The Fujinon XF 10–24 mm f/4R OIS is undoubtedly a good lens – still we admit its performance left us a bit dissatisfied. As one of the most expensive ultra-wide angle device on the market it should have been beyond reproach in every category; instead we got several slip-ups which simply shouldn’t have happened at this price point. If this lens cost about 2,000-2,500 PLN I would recommend it to anybody but with its current price tag it would be really difficult to do so.

Overall the tested lens is a device characteristic for the whole Fujifilm X optics which can be described as good but definitely overpriced. It is difficult to believe a system with the majority of lenses being noticeably more expensive than its direct competitors has a bright future and awaits an intensive development.
