I beg to differ with the xf35 f2.0 example I gave. you don’t see vessels because of the size and eye of subject it’s also true xtrans compromises in color resolution to gain on luminance The part to see here is the hair if you are getting a hairline as a single pixel

Sorry, I am looking at the subjects eyes and skin. The stands of hair were reflecting sunlight - high contrast, no wonder they stand out. I'm looking at the subtle (lack of detail) in the skin and eyes. Her hair is no thicker than eyelashes. There should be detail there.

pretty much you can’t get sharper than that - white the girl on the bathtub has a bit of a blur

At 1/60th of a second indoors with a squirming toddler, you're surprised?   Yet still shows eyelashes and blood vessels even wide open. Then there's the outdoor shot at 1/2500 with the same combo. Far more detail in the eye-lashes, eyebrows, fine hairs of the skin, blood vessels, soft, subtle pink tones and transition of the nasolacrimal duct. I don't see this on the Fuji.

but it to be fair if that was shot on the em5 there’s also the higher resolitiin of the xe3 to account in that case - which still makes a case for the Fuji as a system but not as much individually for the lens

Resolution on the 12MP EPL1 for the PL25/1.4 @ 1.4 is ~ 1500 lph

Resolution on the 16MP XE1 for the XF35/2 @ f/2 is ~ 1850 lph

Wide open the Fuji should show an advantage but I fear this is masked by the x-trans demosaicing.  At f/2 the PL25 also produces ~ 1850 lph like the Fuji.  Who knows if more detail is resolved on the 16 and 20mp mFT sensors without an AA filter.  I would guess yes, but to what extent, who knows.

at any rate I think I proved it’s sharp enough at a minimum I sold my xe3 to my brother so don’t have it anymore though still have an old xe1 that maybe I can try

A closer shot, focused on the eye so we can see the detail would help.  Maybe with CaptureOne or whatever works best on x-trans.  Would be interesting to compare to the same lens on the Bayer 24MP Fuji models (XA3 or whatever it's called).
