Quote:What caught my attention was that this Fuji lens throws in a similar performance to the Canon EF-S 10-18mm IS STM and Canon EF-M 11-22mm IS STM which are priced at €269 and €399 respectively, where this Fuji is priced at €999. Yes, the Fuji has a bigger focal range than both and is constant f4, but it still seems like a pretty rough deal to me...You've already answered your own question, innit?
"Especially since the constant f4 is not always very useful for an UWA for APS-C."
For landscape shots, you would still stop down some, but if you're interested in employing it for general use, it's a blessing over the f/4.5-5.6 designs. The aperture is constant to boot. I used a Tokina 12-24/4 in the days of yore and it was a great experience (sadly I had to part with it in anticipation of stepping up to APS-H).
