Assuming no user error, it looks bad to me. There is absolutely some copy variance with lenses, but your examples look beyond bad. I only used an X100F for one day, but it was MUCH better than what I'm seeing in your examples. The X100V is significantly better in the corners, at close range, and shot wide open - and remains good with all those things combined. I used a GR III for a day as well, with the F being at least as good or better in most respects and the V being better in all respects. My V seems to be better than the one in the DPR review. Their comparison seems to feature an excellent F, and a just so-so V.
