XF 50mm f2 pincushion distortion

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

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 )

This lens is not optically designed to be distortion free.

There are two lens correction profiles in Capture One. One they create but they also allow you to select the manufacturer profile which will load the correction data from the lens/camera that is embedded in the RAW metadata.

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

Have you adjusted the distortion slider in the Lens Correction tab to 100?
