Have both these images been through the ed tool? If so, can you post the raw I would like to take a look as it doesn’t appear to be having a huge effect, ie it would nice to see a before and after?Feel like I am getting somewhere now ,very frustrated that the weather is not playing ball ,both shots were on the ten second timer in high wind ,small amount of sharpening and noise reduction added everything else is the same as before
These have been through the Ed tool ,I can post a very similar second image but to be truthful I don't know how to send a raw acrossHave both these images been through the ed tool?

Why ISO 80? Your camera's base ISO is 160, you are running a higher risk of blowing the highlights and are slowing your shutter speed down, If it's windy, you'd be much better off with a higher shutter speed. Parts of your images look very soft, especially on the right side of the bottom shot.

Focus point is the base of the tall trees ISO 80 is just a habit I have got into will have to bump it up to 160 to see any difference next time I am outWhy ISO 80?

Hi Simon, the easiest way to send raw's is through we-transfer, https://wetransfer.com/ just send an email to yourself and upload the raw's, the resulting link, either in your email or linked at the end of the upload and post that link to shareThese have been through the Ed tool ,I can post a very similar second image but to be truthful I don't know how to send a raw acrossHave both these images been through the ed tool?

If you focused at the base of the tall trees, I’m thinking your lens is wonky. There’s no way it should look that bad on the right.Focus point is the base of the tall trees ISO 80 is just a habit I have got into will have to bump it up to 160 to see any difference next time I am outWhy ISO 80?

Noise reduction is very low ,may have a problem with the lens
Yes ,made that mistake before ,although in the wind it would have been better to be on
That’s pretty bad too. If that was my lens, I would not be happy. At all.This was a quick edit but the tripod was on the road ,just to see if any softness could be down to movement due to the high wind
Never thought of that will definitely try it.In windy conditions on a tripod, if I really want the best possible shot, I turn to continuous low and 10s delay, which on my X-E1 gives me sometimes 3 and sometimes 6 shots. I don't know if it is a bug or feature, and if it is possible on other fuji cameras.
Of course it is more time consuming in post to shuffle through the images, but often there is really some difference in motion sharpness. If there isn't, the bonus point you can stack the images for superrres or noise reduction
It's not as bad but not good thinking of trading it in for the 8-16 , wish lightroom cc had a focus stacking optionThat’s pretty bad too. If that was my lens, I would not be happy.

I think it's a bit early to draw conclusions about the lens. IMHO the shutter speed is way too low, the light levels are too low, and in this last photo there is significant light pollution from the side. If it was my lens, for the sake of my emotional health, I would go outside in a similar area in full sun during midday and shoot with the sun behind the lens first, manual focus on hyperfocal distance, on tripod, OIS off, f8, 1/500 or faster shutter, RAW, and edit in iridient or ADOBE with enhance details.That’s pretty bad too.

Personally, my IQ hit rate with landscapes is quite low. It is just not that easy to get everything in sharp focus, with no wind and in good light, and a lot of factors affect the image. I sure had worse results than these from a perfectly good 18-55 if I set up something wrong or the environment was not helping. Also fujis are not really easily landscape cameras.
You're welcome, let us know how it goes.
