Just got an used XF 50mm f2 and as usual I'm checking that the lens it is fine

It doesn't seem to be decentrerei but it shows a pincushion distortion

I did take several shot at 67cm measured from the back of the camera to the target

I did Jesus target distance, level the camera... it always show up

Can't think at furore target to try

I'm using an X-T2 but in Capture One it loads lens correction and I can see it as I see in camera

Capture One’s or the “Manufacturer’s” correction profile? Try both.

Is it a defective lens or just an issue of 50mm f2 ( at lest at close distance ) ?

target it is a scaled A4 image of a 10€ bill ( not real size bill )
