Re: Might be not at its best because of too old firmware.

Focusing speed is worse than 12-40 most likely because of old firmware, with 2.0 looks like it's faster, well lets say at least on par with 12-40. Wonder what else can firmware improve.
Also saw reports that 40-150 is noticeable sharper at 40mm than 12-40. Getting little bit softer at 150, as expected anyway.
But your report on flare is a bit surprising, from what i saw from this lens until now i thought it's at least on par with panasonic 35-100.
The report on flare is not surprising. It was already reported and compare with the 35-100 in this review.

"The last image quality test I did was in a backlight situation to see micro contrasts and flare rendering. Regarding the ability to retain details, both lenses work fine. The Lumix seem to handle flares better."

The Fujifilm X-T5 is the company's latest classically-styled APS-C mirrorless camera. It gains the 40MP sensor and AF system from the X-H2 but in a body with a more stills-focused slant. We've been putting it through its paces.
We're Noct messing around with this review.
Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom impress in a lot of ways, but their noise reduction lags the competition and their lens corrections lack a real-world basis. DxO PureRAW 3 aims to come to their rescue without totally reinventing your workflow!
The Sony ZV-E1 is the company's latest vlogging-focused camera: a full-frame mirrorless camera based the FX3/a7S III sensor, aimed at YouTubers and 'creators' looking to go pro.
