Decent lens, but far from perfect...

Re: Decent lens, but far from perfect...

I never said I prefer software over optical corrections, it is just the opposite. This lens is not optically corrected, nor the 18-55 f2.8-4 and that is why I personally find them underdeveloped.

I know RAW files should be developed, and I know how to develop my photos, I am talking about the lens and how sharp it is. Also, I know how to process Fuji RAF files, again it is not about processing, it is about the lens, it is not very sharp by my standards.

Here you have some quick examples, shot on a tripod, around 55-60cm from the subject, look at the center of the frame where all lenses should be the sharpest. I included 18-55 as well, if this is sharp for you, than we do not have the same standards.
