This sample is just OOF

Why is everyone essentially saying the Sigma image is sharper? The orange ring near rhe ouside of the logo is filling in in the Sigma image and open in the Fuji. The B and A in BAG are both filling in the interior spaces though held open in the Fuji image. The dots in the URL are ghosts but held in the Fuji. The letter forms are being eaten away in the Sigma image. The indentations on the side of the box are sharper in the Fuji image.

If this was poor focus, none of this would be true. The Sigma image looks like an oversharpened jpeg. It is not resolving anything better than the Fuji image.

I still say the Fuji is actually showing the unsharp naure of the printing, which wouln’t be unusual for printing on boxes.

At first glance the thiness of the font in the url can be mistaken for sharpness, but it’s just the opposite.

The Fuji is out-resolving the Sigma.
