Sharpness at 14mm

For these sharpness tests the Fujifilm XF 10-24mm F4 R OIS lens was attached to a Fujifilm X-T1 body, which in turn was mounted on a sturdy tripod. Slight tonal changes are due to slight changes in natural light during the session.

The centre is remarkably sharp wide open, with peak performance achieved in the f/5.6-11 range. Diffraction sets in at around f/16, with its effects becoming more visible at f/22.

The edges are somewhat soft at f/4 but sharpen up very nicely at f/5.6, with f/8 the optimum setting.
