So I finally upgraded to the X-T5 and Im heading to Iceland in like three weeks so I need to nail down my landscape setup fast. Im torn between getting the XF 10-24mm f/4 R OIS WR or just going with the 14mm f/2.8 prime. I love the idea of the zoom for versatility but Ive heard the 14mm is way sharper for those 40mp sensor details.
Constraints:
- Budget: under 900 bucks (used is fine)
- Weight: gotta be light enough for 10 mile hikes
- Weather: needs to handle some mist/rain
The 10-24 seems safer but is it gonna look soft on the T5? Or should I just get the 14mm and crop or stitch? Kind of leaning toward the zoom for the WR but that prime is tempting...

Re: "Just saw this thread and remembered my trip...."
- Agreed, tho unfortunately Fujifilm XF 10-24mm f/4 R OIS WR disappointed me.
- 10-24mm: blurry corners.
- Fujifilm XF 14mm f/2.8 R: sharp but no sealing. Buy used!

Just saw this thread and remembered my trip. I took my X-T5 to Iceland last year and realized the mist makes swapping lenses risky.
- Fujifilm XF 10-24mm f/4 R OIS WR is a reliable option for the weather sealing alone. Its sharp enough stopped down.
- Fujifilm XF 16mm f/2.8 R WR works well if you prioritize saving weight on 10-mile hikes.
