Hi,

 

I haven't got any personal experience of either lens but I think it would be fair to say the Fujifilm 10-24 would be a more flexible lens, although the Fuji is an F4 compared to F2.8 for the Zeiss, the Fuji does have image stabilisation so you could probably shoot at slower shutter speed to compensate for that quite easily.  Ephotozine.com website has reviewed both lenses, here are the links:  https://www.ephotozine.com/article/carl-zeiss-touit-distagon-t--12mm-f-2-8-lens-review-22026 and  https://www.ephotozine.com/article/fujifilm-fujinon-xf-10-24mm-f-4-r-ois-lens-review-24514.

Personally I would pick the Fujifilm 10-24 just for the extra flexibility the focus range gives also the Fuji seems to maintain great sharpness across the whole zoom range, in fact I am saving up for the Fuji at the moment.

 

I hope this is of some use to you   :)

Personally, for me the debate would be the Samyang/Rokinon  12mm f/2 or the 10-24mm. Zeiss is a good company, but most people I know who have their Fuji lenses seem to feel like they don't quite live up to expectations at their price point.

 

I owned the 10-24mm for several years and I really liked it, but rarely used it because I tend to prefer primes and 16mm is wide enough for almost everything I do and the 23mm is my main lens that's almost always on my camera. I didn't use the zoom enough to keep it any longer, but I was very pleased with it overall. My one criticism of it was that it loses a little sharpness in the corners, but if you watch your shutter speeds and turn off OIS when its not necessary that helps a bit.

I've had the 14mm F2.8 since our first came out and really enjoy it. I just got the 10-24 zoom. Both are really nice to have. I like the breadth of ranges on the zoom, but to be honest (I try) if I were concerned about weight, the 14mm & the 18-55mm are a great combo and cover most of the same range.

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      By Giampaolo Masserano · Posted

      I use a TECHART ring to mount Canon EF lenses on the GFX 50S-II and 100S-II, maintaining image stabilization and autofocus. The only limitation are lenses with a small rear element diameter that make it impossible to cover medium format. Fast lenses like the EF 85/1.2L or the 100-400L, however, work great.

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      I also use a Nikon to GFX Fringer and it works very well.  24mm f/1.8 vignettes so best used on 35mm mode.  50mm f/1.8 covers the entire frame very well with no issues and is a superb little lens. 105mm Sigma vignettes slightly but is perfectly usable. 300 f/4 likewise the 105.  I have a 70-200 f/20+.8 incoming to test so will report back but I'm expecting a little vignetting.  Even in 35mm mode the image is still 60MP and if you're prepared to manually crop and correct you can get 80-90 MP images.  I also have a C/Y to GFX adapter.  The 24mm Sigma Superwide vignettes strongly. Ditto 28-80 Zeiss Sonnar. 80-200 f/4 Sonnar is perfectly usable. All work fine as 35mm mode lenses.  I also have an M42 adapter which I tried with the Carl Zeiss Jena 135mm f/3.5 with good results.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      By jerryy · Posted

      Ahh, the infamous brick wall photos… 😀 According to internet lore, if the dng converter does not properly apply the corrections, you can have it apply custom profiles that should work for you. How to do that is waaaaaay outside of this comment’s scope, but there are plenty of sites listed in the search engines that step you through the processes. Best wishes.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      Jerry Thank you very much. That is extremely helpful. It seems that the camera and the lens have the latest firmware update, so it appears that the corrections should be applied automatically. The lens arrived this afternoon and I took some quick test shots, in which the correct lens information appeared in the EXIF files, so that sounds good. I used Adobe DNG converter to convert the Raw (RAF) files, and then opened the DNG files and saved them in PSD format. However, with a beautiful, clear, cloudless blue sky, there were no lines near the edges to check if distortion had been corrected. Another day I plan to photograph a brick wall. Thank you for your help.
