Finally grabbed an X-S20 after saving up for months and now Im staring at my empty lens mount like a total dummy. I really want to get into landscape photography for this big trip Im taking to the Olympic National Park in about three weeks so the clock is kinda ticking. I did some digging and everyone keeps pointing towards a few specific ones:

  • XF 10-24mm f4 R OIS WR
  • XF 16mm f1.4 R WR
  • Tamron 11-20mm f2.8

I saw some people complaining that the 10-24mm isnt sharp enough on the newer sensors or that the f4 is too slow if I want to try some milky way shots while Im out there. My logic was to maybe go for the 16mm prime because its supposed to be legendary but then I worry Ill be constantly wishing I could go wider when I get to those huge coastline views.

Budget is around 900 bucks give or take and I dont mind buying used if it gets me better glass. Is the 10-24mm actually worth it for a beginner or should I be looking at the Tamron instead? I heard the Tamron doesnt have an aperture ring which kinda bums me out since thats half the reason I bought into Fuji in the first place but if the image quality is better maybe I should just suck it up and deal with it...

Are you hauling a tripod? In my experience, the Fujifilm XF 10-24mm f4 R OIS WR OIS is vital because it stops blur during slow exposures, tho the Samyang 12mm f2.0 AF beats it for astro.

Be careful with that Washington rain! I would suggest the Fujifilm XF 10-24mm f4 R OIS WR.

  • super reliable
  • weather sealed Safe bet for a beginner tbh.
