Fuji x-pro 2 woes.

Having troubles folks.

New to this camera though I have an x100s which I love.
Bought a secondhand x-pro 2 with 18-55 a few weeks back and I can't get reliably sharp images of landscapes.
I noticed that if I enable the distance scale on the screen the marker would often not show infinity. More worryingly using single point focus the scale showed different distances each time I half pressed the shutter button. This despite the camera locked down on tripod. Have you noticed this? I nearly always shoot single point AF.
If there's obvious big elements nearer to focus on, the camera seems to lock on ok.
I am also very unimpressed by OOF performance of the 18-55. On hard edges there seems to be a halo. On foliage it looks like awful blobs or squiggles.

Just not the expected quality I expected to get from £1k spend.
Interested to hear your thoughts.

John
