Hello,

I am looking to buy a lens (probably used) for use when capturing interior and exterior architecture images.

 

I currently have the 16-80mm Fuji lens and tried a Fuji 14mm lens but found that in certain situations I need something wider than 14mm.

So considering the Fuji 10-24mm lens or a third party 12mm prime like the Samyang or the more expensive Zeiss prime.

I will be using it on my Fuji X-H1 camera.

 

Your thoughts and opinions?

Hi, since you mention architecture, along with interiors, I assume maybe you plan on shooting professionally?
If so, consider the option of refraining from shooting super wide all the time, as the 'wow' effect of super-wides often collides with the need of representing spaces or structures with a more natural identity. One very good option could be to buy a lens with a T/S (tilt/shift) or only S adapter ring to connect with your camera. You'll have to set the lens aperture and focus manually, but it's not a big deal; you would be able to include a detail in the composition or correct vertical lines without the excessive perspective effect of super wides. 
The Fuji sensor, the small ones, are so good that one can happily forget about FF and prime shift lenses and go the Frankenstein way with great satisfaction. One option to investigate would be coupling a Voigtländer Heliar 15mm with the XH1.
The Voigtländer is meant for FF so it would give you a sufficient portion of good image circle to shift around with. Some uses it on GFX cropping the sensor to FF.
Hope it can be 'stimulating', and not make things even worse...
😁

      X-H2s CF Express Type B write error

      Does the camera report the write errors? How do you know its the Delkin card that is the problem? Have you tried using the Delkin card on its own - do you still get errors? I have that exact same card and haven't had problems - but rarely shoot video. The only problem I've had thats remotely similar was with a particular combination of two cards in the two slots - either one was fine on its own - switching to a different card in slot 2 solved it.

      X-H2s CF Express Type B write error

      By Chris Hughes · Posted

      Hi, I hope someone can help. I use a Delkin Devices Black 150GB CF Express Type B card alongside a San Disk Extreme Pro SDXC 300MB/s 128GB in slot 2. We only shoot video, 4k, (normally 100mbit), and often get write errors to the Delkin card where the camera struggles to write to it, the camera can be stuck for up to a minute or so. If out on a days shoot this will happen 2 or 3 times. Up until 2 days ago the file was always written to both cards, (we backup to the SD card), but I had an instance where the file was not written, so very worrying! I have the latest firmware, but this is something that has happened on other firmwares too, and on another card too, which Delkin changed under their lifetime warranty. Anyone experienced anything similar? If so what was the outcome? What CFexpress Type B cards are you guys using, I'm going to buy another card today, but probably not Delkin.... Thanks for your help

      Mac Sequoia, X Raw Studio Issues

      Too late - I can live without X Raw Studio for a while - it makes you wonder how much testing Fujifilm carried out while Sequoia was in beta.

      16-55mm f2.8 stops camera from entering sleep mode

      By ContaxRTSII · Posted

      I have four Fujifilm body-XH2, XT30II, XS20 and XT50. Out of these four bodies only XT50 will enter sleep mode for the 16-55/2.8. The rest of the other three refuses to do so but works normally for other Fujifilm lens I have. Since the other three can do sleep mode (for other lens), I will rule out the possibility of menu setup issue. The 16-55/2.8 has the newest firmware 1.33 and it is most likely the reason of this weird issue. I remember it was fine before this 1.33 (August-2024 update) firmware. Wondering if I can get a 1.32 or 1.31 to make it working as I expected? I have tried reflash the lens with 1.33 but that won't solve the problem. I have also clean thoroughly on the electronic contacts... Solution? idea?
