I have similar story...
After 6 years being very happy user of D700 (sold t), I started looking around to see how mirrorless would fit instead, and I've got badly infected by Fuji. The problem was splitting with Nikon, it didn't go so easy. I actually made decision initially to stay on and I purchased brand new D750 with 24-120 F4. I used to owe that lens, and I knew exactly what I could get out of it, but the copy I received was nowhere sharp like the one I used to owe. Even worse, I had to tune camera to +20 to make it right. I wasn't sure what was bad camera or lens, so I put my 85mm F1.8 G on, which was always sharp without any camera correction on D700. Even that lens was front focusing the same way, and it needed +20. I had a sleepless night after testing, but I made final decision. I returned D750 and the lens, in favour of Fuji X-T1 and 56mm F1.2.
Every Fuji lens I tried so far is exceptional, and sharp wide open, even Sigma 35mm Art would be embarrassed by.
When I returned that kit back to the store, the guy inside commented that lens wasn't sitting tight enough in camera flange, but I wasn't interested in that comment at all, as I said, I had my decision already made. I am not sure if that was the problem or not, but something to think about.
