1 - There is little practical difference at the centre of the frame between any of the lenses. if you are primarily only interested in the sharpness at the centre of the frame and do not need anything wider than f5.6 then the little 14-150 walkaround lens will serve very well at this focal length. But, if you need detail out to the edges then the 14-150 is a bit of a disaster.
When I use the 14-150mm (I have 2 of them, versions I and II) I almost never care that much about the edges when I am zoomed out to 150mm. They are most of the time oof anyway. One thing that I have often wondered about is if one reason the edges are less sharp is because of field curvature so a flat subject such as your photo might make things appear worse than in the 3D world? I don't know the answer and have never tried to check, but it is just something I have wondered about.
Field curvature could also make things worse in the real world. It depends which way it goes and whether the corners of your image go the same way relative to the centre
I suspect the corners are just mushy though.

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!
