The 10-24 peak sharpness is beyond F4, between F5 and F9, and its optimal range is certainly not at 10 or 24 ends. It's pretty easy to tell that a big disadvantage of the 3rd party lenses is they have less saturation in pretty much every case I looked at, whether it's the blue, red, or greens.
Thanks. Maybe the ultimate Fuji should have been the 8-16? I have this’d lens plus the 16-55 and my recent acquisition the 70-300. On a recent trip to Australia on my X-Pro2 most of my shots were the 11-16. But overall my most used was my beloved Ricoh GRIII!
I wondered that too Rafeek. I have done some reviews of Viltrox LED lights on the channel and so I reached out to them and asked if they would lend me a Viltrox lens for the test, but they said I didn’t have enough subscribers to merit them sending a lens 😔 Guess I need to be a bit bigger to play with the big boys, although Nikon have lent me cameras like the Z6ii and Zfc so I’m getting there! Thanks for watching and commenting, I really appreciate it 👏📷
Hi, thanks for watching and for your comment. For clarity I can confirm that the cameras were set up identically, there wouldn’t be any point having the sharpness higher on either camera. They are both shooting jpeg with identical settings. 👍🏻📷😊
Now that’s an interesting topic for a video. That’s an interesting one. It works on the premise that people use longer lenses to get closer, but sometimes they choose a different lens for the perspective, to squeeze things together or pull them apart and the zoom simply means they don’t have to buy two lenses. I wonder how many people use the zoom for composition and not perspective? That’s a really interesting question, thank you, I’m going to feature that on a video. Cheers 👍🏻
I agree up to certain point. Something I am always looking for is: perspective as one of the main elements and changing focal length will affect it. But, on th other hand, I love hiking, and there’s lots of struggle on carrying too much glass on my back. So, I usually get my two or three most loved primes and one zoom for those situations where I feel lazy on not willing to fly.
i am happy with the zeiss 2.8 is great and sharpness is stunning and if i like it warmer the raw pics can be set to my favorite colors

I have a Sony A9 and A7r3 and have all Sony lenses apart from wide angle. Have a Zeiss 18mm f2.8. Love it. So sharp and minimal distortion.
I am always glad to see you, Riley! So good, so energetic!

I wonder how the Viltrox 13/1.4 compares to the Zeiss.

I am wondering if you guys are using same body. Colors also diefer on every sensor fuji body has.
Identical, two XH1 bodies 👍🏻
Hi Phil
I enjoyed seeing another one of your videos! What camera bodies did you use with tge lenses? Stay safe my friend!
Best wishes
Duane
We had two Fuji XH1 bodies, identical settings. Boy those lenses were so similar !!
@@rileyphotos
Similar but difference in price?
IS ZEIS 12MM FOR FULL FRAME?
No, both lenses are for Fuji APS-C 👍🏻
@@rileyphotos good for xt1?
I think you shoot JPEG and set the sharpness of 12mm higher than fuji 10-24. There is no way the raw file look that vibrant on fuji photos.

zeiss for me
Zooms are for lazy people. You need to make the composition fit the lens, not change the focal length to compose
