There's an "issue", which is surely just a Fuji's choice, that's present in every model: AF in fuji cameras is achieved using the actual aperture, up to 7,1. Everyone can check/verify, it just takes some experimenting (looking inside the lens while focusing;  just some... inventiveness required to do it right).

The outcome is that it sometimes misses a bit, just enough to find a slightly "muddy" look when pixel peeping. Probably, with the newer sensor it's more apparent.

I was a bit anxious about it but found an easy solution if I want to avoid it: put the camera in MF and focus with afl button. That way, the camera always focuses at full aperture.

I've had a number of Fuji x cameras, now an X-T3, and they've always focused that way, I tried with many different lenses.
