I just put my 16/2.8 on my old XT1, and it looked quite rectilinear through the EVF..... I lined up interior building details - walls and cupboards, etc. No problem. I can't explain why your lens might not have looked rectilinear on your XT1.

Interesting. Thanks. Now I look again at the X-T1 shots there’s also a lot of softness/CA in the edges and corners, but again this is (impressively) well-corrected on the T2. I’ve also used it on my A5, but that’s infrared so hard to draw robust conclusions from—but that certainly seems much better than the T1, if maybe just a little shy of the T2. Hmm…
