X100T and blurred edges

[Enir4]

I have a problem with the X100T. With the two samples I tried, about half the photos have a badly blurred edge. With the first camera was the right edge and with the second the left. I must assume that both are defective and Fuji has a bad case of quality control. Did other owners of this camera have a similar problem?

These blurry areas are blurry because they are outside the 'depth of field' and are perfectly normal. I invite you to prove me wrong.

You should just ask nicely for examples of the problem...

Does not sound normal. Edges are sharp when they should be sharp. It is a fact that at the wider apertures the lens is sharper in the center than in the corners but you seem to have a decentered lens on your camera.

Hope you will not have bad luck again with your replacement. The x100t is a gem for those who favor the "35mm" angle of view. Lovely compromise between size, speed and IQ.

The problem is that after two consecutive defective samples I am not at all sure that I want a third one. I had an X100 for a long time and loved it. Oh well, trying to decide whether or not I will go for a third X100T.



Thank you for your answer.

Hi Enrique,

looking at your forum posts and listed gear in your profile you had quality issues with all your gear. All of them mentioned within one month. Seems that only 16-55 is still OK.

2 x X100T - reported in this thread

My perception is that Fuji cameras are very reliable, not that many people here reports quality issues. You either have very very bad luck or ...

Regards, Duri

Yes, I guess I must apologize for it...

I keep trying... I will get my third sample tomorrow. Crossed fingers.

This photo was not tack sharp because I should of set the aperture to 2.8 instead of wide open. This was taken in the Philadelphia Convention center at the 2016 flower show under mixed lighting. The X100T camera is a photographers camera where you must understand what ALL the settings do.

Please post some examples from your X100T. I really like the X100T but it takes knowledge and time to get the very best results

I posted a couple of photos above. I also had an X100 for 3 years, so I do know the camera.

I don't see anything in these images as "badly blurred". There is some incredibly small blurring at the extreme edges, which is perfectly normal. Shoot a flat subject on a tripod with a cable release or self-timer, and post the results.

You should just ask nicely for examples of the problem...

That isn't how the Socratic Method is practiced.

I can find references to Social Tyranny (the collective "voice" of the people) but not this Sociable Method you speak of. Maybe that's what you're practicing.

I am practicing social manners, which only appear tyrannical to those without them.

The focusing problem of the X100T is too much for me, I don't want inconsistent or undependable results. So I got the closest thing I could think of: an XT10 with a 27mm. It is also 35% less expensive.


To me it has been a very interesting discussion, thank you all.

Okay, everyone can hate me now. There are four (count 'em) perfectly good cameras out there that cannot be sold as new. Dealer loses money; manufacturer loses money; we pay more money for our gear. OP refused to do an actual test, which would involve shooting a flat object from a tripod using AF and MF.
