Sharpness at 30mm

For this test, the Fujifilm XF 30mm F2.8 R LM WR Macro lens was attached to a Fujifilm X-T5 body, which was in turn mounted to a sturdy tripod. Exposure delay mode was activated. Tonal and colour variance across the crops are due to change in natural light during the session.

Centre sharpness is very good wide-open at f/2.8 and outstanding all the way through to f/16, with f/22 being affected by diffraction.

The edges are just as sharp as the centre, with the best results again obtained from f/4 through to f/16.
