Sharpness at 33mm

For this test, the Fujifilm XF 33mm F1.4 R LM WR lens was attached to a Fujifilm X-T30 II 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.

The centre is pleasingly sharp even wide open at f/1.4, with peak performance achieved in the f/2-f/11 range. Diffraction sets in at f/16.

The edges are almost as sharp as the centre, with f/2.8 to f/11 the optimum settings.
