I almost bought the 16mm during the last sale, but resisted at the time. I have the 10-24mm and the 35mm. I think if I could only have one of the two combos, I'd go with the 16 and 35. I don't often want to go wider than the 16mm and from what I am seeing the IQ is better. I like the 10-24mm, but it is missing something for me.

It depends on your shooting style. I had a similar decision to make and opted for the 16.

Retrospectively, best decision ever - changed my shooting style! Love taking these people shots in an environemental context.

 

Fuji just gave me the inspiration to get rid of all the zooms ;). A stellar ultra wide zoom could change that in the future, but for now I am fine with the primes.

 

Imho, if you are more into landsacpe, architecture -> 10-24, if you are more into people in context, story telling, street -> 16

16 has the highest resolution in XF. It resolves more details if you zoom in to 100%+. And F/1.4 makes it such a wonderful lens for galaxy photography.

But if I had to choose, I'd still go for 10-24 and 35 combo.

There're 2 reasons that the advantage of 16 can't really attract me.

1. I don't take landscape for commercial purpose. The super high resolution isn't a MUST.

2. Of course I don't always take galaxy that often. 

And here is the reason why 10-24 can be the replacement.

1. Landscape seldom taken by big aperture, F/4 is huge enough, except galaxy.

2. 10-24 gives you much more than just 16.

----24: A 36mm in 135 is wonderful for street photography.

----18: A 28mm in 135 is another nice option for street photography and it's also suitable for landscape.

----16: A 24mm in 135 is just nice for usual landscape.

----10-14: Ultra wide angle provides a strong visual impact to your photo.

Ultra wide is not a MUST, but you'll falling love with it if you have one.

I do use 14 to take portraits. The perspective makes girls leg longer and thinner. And the visual impact with good background such as great architecture gives you a stately feeling.

3. Every time before travelling, I never think about which lens to bring. I just mount my 10-24 onto the camera, that's all I need. No matter street, cityscape or great landscape, the 10-24 can manage everything.

How many landscape and architecture shots you tend to take is the main question, but also how much you intend to travel. One of my favorite travel combinations is 10-24, 35 f/1.4, and 55-200, but I have also taken the 16, 23, 35 f/1.4 and the 55-200 while traveling too depending on the location. If my travel is oriented toward landscapes, then I lean toward the 16 when I'm packing. If I'm going to be in cities, then I take the 24. So even within landscape and architecture there are some considerations to be made. If I could only have one of them, it would probably be the 16mm because of the image quality edge, but if I only had the 10-24, I wouldn't necessarily be disappointed.

      pocket wizard and XT5?

      By LBAbrams · Posted

      Has anyone successfully used pocket wizards with an XT5? I cannot get it to fire.  Do Fujis and pocket wizards get along? Thanks in advance for your wisdom on this, kind readers!

      Grzegorz, Go to the Networking Setting in your camera menu (the last one at the bottom - unless you have a My Menu then that is the last one). There, go to Network Setting and choose the SSID (name) of your WiFi network, type in the password, choose "SET". If you have a functioning DHCP server on your network, the camera should get its IP address (and Subnet_Mask and Gateway). If not, you can enter these manually. It is a little tricky, there will be some zeros already here, move the cursor after the zero and use DEL to delete it and make space in the input fields for your own correct values. If you do not know what to enter, have a look at values in the network settings of your computer and use the same except for the IP address, try some fairly higher number, hopefully you hit an unused one. Usually the values would be something like IP: 192.168.1.188, Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0, Gateway IP: 192.168.1.1  or something like that, take clues from your computer. The camera and computer must be on the same network. Then in Connection Mode on the camera, choose Wireless Tethering Fixed. And half-press the shutter to exit the menu and get in shooting mode. The red LED should be blinking. If you can look at your network devices, e.g. on your router, you should see the camera there. You can see check the camera settings in the camera menu in the INFORMATION item of the Network Setting menu to see the MAC address of your camera and look for it in the list of devices on your network.  Then use the tethering in your software, e.g. in Capture One. The camera may not show immediately, take a shot and then it should show in the list of available cameras. Good luck. Report back how did you fare.  PS If you have a Windows machine, you need to have Bonjour installed and running. Macs have it.

      X-T30 II Eye Sensor + LCD Image Display viewmode not working

      By grizzski · Posted

      Hey all, I just got my first camera. The X-T30 II. It seems the Eye Sensor + LCD Image Display view-mode is doing the exact same thing as just the Eye Sensor view-mode setting. Any ideas why this is or what's supposed to be happening? Firmware Version: 2.04

      Problem with multi exposure on XT5

      By George_P · Posted

      What GordW said. You have to put the drive mode dial to "S" - Single Frame. If you have it on CL, CH, BKT or Panorama (or HDR), the Multiple Exposure option will be greyed out in the shootng menu. On my X-T5 it works in RAW + JPG and also in JPG only. When Multiple Exposure is switched on, the image quality cannot be set to RAW only. If it was set to RAW only before switching Multiple Exposure On, image quality defaults to RAW+Fine. The result is JPG. After each shot press MENU/OK and after the last one press DISP/BACK.
