Sharpness at 35mm

The sharpness tests for this review were carried out using a real-world subject rather than a test chart. The Fujifilm XC 35mm F2 lens was attached to a Fujifilm X-A7 camera body, which in turn was mounted on a sturdy tripod. Self-timer mode was activated. Slight tonal changes are due to slight changes in natural light during the session.
