Fuji's XF 10-24 hits $194: 5 used camera deals to check (July 31)

Checked at 7:00 a.m. local channel time on July 31, 2026. Fujifilm has the sharpest new move: the XF 10-24mm f/4 R OIS now starts at $194 on MPB, down from the $274 checkpoint in last week's radar. Sony E-mount is less dramatic but more convincing: the FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM is still at $429, a floor that has held since June 19. Canon EF has the most buyer leverage, with 119 copies of the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II still in MPB's pool. 1 2 3

This remains an MPB-led live snapshot. I could not verify a usable eBay sold-listing series or KEH inventory page in this pass. The history column therefore uses observed checkpoints from this radar, not a complete six-month completed-sale range across every marketplace. MPB's official Price Index does support 3-, 6-, 12-, and 36-month views by brand and product type, but its readable page did not expose model-level numbers for these mounts. 4

One grading distinction protects the whole list: MPB's Like New, Excellent, and Good labels describe cosmetic condition. Like New is nearly unmarked; Excellent allows light use; Good shows visible wear while remaining functional. MPB says cosmetic grade does not cover autofocus, sensor damage, or other functional faults. The floor price is not the floor deal until you open the exact SKU. 5

Price history: MPB's live page starts at $194 across 24 used copies. The radar saw $274 last week and an earlier $519 checkpoint, so this is a meaningful new break. The observed band is $194–$519; it is not a claim that every six-month sale landed inside that range. 1

Condition: Shutter count is not applicable. The live page does not expose the floor grade, and MPB has mixed the older R OIS and later R OIS WR naming in related pages. Confirm the exact suffix, photos, and item-level condition before paying. At 10mm and 24mm, test the corners for decentering; also check OIS, zoom-ring torque, and filter threads.

Verdict: Buy after the version and optics are confirmed. $194 is the week's clearest new opening, but it is not a license to buy the wrong version. Pair it with the current XF 23mm f/2 R WR at $279–$399 for a compact X-mount two-lens kit. 6

Price history: The current 88-body pool begins at $1,349, down from the $1,449 checkpoint on July 17 and the $1,519 June checkpoint. Earlier radar observations reached $1,759, giving an observed range of $1,349–$1,759 rather than a complete sold-market series. 7

Condition and shutter: MPB's readable model page does not identify the $1,349 body's grade or shutter count. That is the buying blocker. Request the exact SKU, actuation count, and photos; the channel's under-50%-of-rated-life rule cannot be confirmed from this listing. As a cross-market anchor, B&H shows a used X-T5 at $1,739.95, in stock with a 90-day warranty, but no grade or shutter count in the readable listing. 8

Verdict: Conditional buy. If the floor copy is MPB Good or Excellent and the count is sane, $1,349 is a real repricing. If the seller will not disclose either, pay more for a documented body or wait. The XF 23mm f/2 R WR at $279–$399 is the sensible small prime pairing. 6

Price history: The FE 16-35mm GM entered the tracker at $429 on June 19 and has held there through July 31. MPB now shows 30 units from $429 to $1,249. That month-long hold is stronger evidence than a one-copy crash. 2

Condition: Shutter count is not applicable. The floor grade remains hidden, so inspect the front element for haze or separation, zoom-ring play, AF at both ends, and weather-sealing damage. B&H's used page shows the same lens at $1,449.95, but its readable listing does not state the grade or warranty. 9

Verdict: Buy after the optics check. A clean MPB Good-or-better copy at $429 is the best glass bargain here. Pair it with Sony's FE 50mm f/1.8 at $119–$164 for a cheap normal prime. 10

Price history: The floor moved through $844 and $764 before reaching $639; it was still $639 with 121 units on July 17. MPB now shows 119 copies from $639 to $1,389. The low is real, but the inventory glut means you do not need to accept a rough specimen. 3

Condition and risk: Shutter count is not applicable. MPB's floor grade is hidden. Test the IS module, AF, zoom smoothness, tripod collar, and every glass surface; a telephoto that needs stabilization repair is not a $639 bargain. B&H's used listing is $1,349.95 with a 90-day warranty, again without a readable condition grade. 11

Verdict: Wait, unless you need it now and MPB confirms Good or better with clean optics and working IS. Pair an EF body or adapter setup with the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM at $75–$117. 12

Price history: The lens is still $84 after the June move from $154, with an observed radar band of $84–$199. MPB lists 17 used copies; the visible higher cards are Excellent at $179 and Like New at $189. 13

Condition: The $84 grade is not exposed. Check the exact SKU photos, mount wear, focusing noise, and front and rear elements. Shutter count is not applicable. If Good or better, the price is unusually strong; if the copy is heavily worn, the $179 Excellent unit is a different deal.

Verdict: Buy if MPB confirms Good or better; otherwise wait. The current Z 40mm f/2 at $164–$189 makes the clean companion for a small Z kit. 14

The strongest fresh move is Fuji's XF 10-24mm at $194. The strongest durable buy is Sony's FE 16-35mm GM at $429. The X-T5 is attractive only when MPB supplies the floor body's shutter count and grade. Canon's 119-unit EF telephoto pool argues for patience. Nikon's $84 Z 28mm is excellent value only if the actual copy clears the grade check.

MPB is a dealer signal, not a private-seller feedback score: its pages state a free six-month warranty and free shipping, while the readable item pages do not expose a per-SKU transaction count or 99% feedback percentage. Treat every call above as contingent on the exact listing, not as permission to skip the photos, condition notes, return terms, or warranty details. 12
