Fujifilm XF 10-24mm F4 R OIS WR vs Fujifilm XF 8-16mm F2.8 R LM WR: no overall pick, it depends on what you need. Pick the Fujifilm XF 10-24mm F4 R OIS WR if you carry it all day or travel light, you want more reach at the long end, or your body has no in-body stabilization or you shoot handheld video (weight: 385 g vs 805 g; focal length: 10-24 mm vs 8-16 mm; stabilization: Yes vs No). Pick the Fujifilm XF 8-16mm F2.8 R LM WR if you shoot in low light or want a blurrier background, or you want a wider view at the short end (widest aperture: f/4 vs f/2.8; focal length: 10-24 mm vs 8-16 mm).

How the pick works

  1. Widest aperture3

    Lower wins once they are 0.3 apart.

  2. Weight2

    Lower wins from a 12% gap.

  3. Focal length (longest)2

    Higher wins from a 15% gap.

  4. Focal length (widest)2

    Lower wins once they are 2 mm apart.

  5. Optical stabilization1

    Having it wins.

  6. Closest focus, wide end1

    Lower wins from a 15% gap. Compared only between lenses of the same focal length (widest).

  7. Filter thread0.5

    Lower wins once they are 5 mm apart.

  8. Lead for a pick1

Our pick or our take adds up the importance of each real difference, with these importances and thresholds: a gap smaller than its row's threshold is too close to call and counts as the same. They are our editorial choice, not a measurement, the same on every page, and they never read prices, sales or who sells it.

Worked out by code, not stated by a source

  • Read from the lens name: each maker marks the sensor size a lens covers (Sony FE/E, Canon RF/RF-S, Nikon DX, Tamron Di III/Di III-A, Sigma DG/DC); every Fujifilm X lens is APS-C and every Micro Four Thirds lens is Four Thirds.
  • Prime or zoom, read from the focal length in the lens name.
  • Read from the lens name: Sony marks optically stabilized lenses OSS, Canon IS, Nikon VR, Fujifilm OIS, Panasonic O.I.S., Tamron VC and Sigma OS; a lens from these makers without the mark has no optical stabilization.

Each value is checked automatically against the source it links, on the date shown. How we build these pages

† The makers' own tables, row by row, with labels in our plain words (translated where the maker's page isn't in English); each row's numbers are checked against the page it links.
