I always wanted that lens, but could never find one at reasonable price. I did spend £60 on a used Sigma 24mm f2.8. The Sigma has great close focusing. The real party trick of the S5 pro was its dynamic range - with the right software. Only the Nik D3 got close got close. Using the software - the Raw highly recovery was amazing! See Ken Rockwell's Overexposure and Blown-Out Images http://www.kenrockwell.com/fuji/s5/dynamic-range.htm

It's a great lens on DX even wide open as you saw.  You should get ahold of one to compare to the Sigma.  My used copy cost me $250 but it's well worth the rock solid AF compared to my focus troubles with the Nikon 24mm 1.4G.
