Struggs

I am a recent convert to Fuji. I have been a professional photographer for 28 years mainly shooting Nikon with some Canon years in between. I have worked in local and national press for many but running my own photographic business for the last 16 years. I own the 10-24mm and think it's a wonderful piece of glass. I agree, when pushed at f4 it can get soft at the edges but after about f5.6/8 it becomes very sharp. I shoot a lot of commercial interiors (real estate) and have used Nikon 12-24mm f2.8 but I think this matches it and then some. The reason being is the style in which I shoot. A lot of my clients have cut budgets over the years so the huge day rates have all but disappeared. In order to make the books balance I needed to find a way of shooting faster but still deliver the quality finish. This lens, with the OIS, allows me to do this. I can now shoot a house interior much quicker as I no longer have to rely on using and lugging a tripod around. Even with 10mm I still find myself squeezing into tight corners, something the tripod wouldn't allow. I regularly shoot at 1/6th of a second, handheld and get pin sharp images. If you have the time, and already own the primes you need it's probably a moot point but if you're in the market for a one size fits all prime thus is a fantastic piece of glass.
