So, to you X100 users. Do I have a dodgy camera or is this the same level of sharpness you see from your X100's?um, these are 100% crops right?
why didn't you focus on the watch face? the lens looks sharp enough near the back of the box where the focus plane is, but the vast majority of the box and watch are out of focus not unsharp.These are 100% crops. Focus is on the centre of the chewing gum box, around the 't'. Watch was just put there for reference.
Thanks Jojoman. Still no one is really answering my initial question though. Are my samples normal for this camera? Would you X100 and X100s users say your cameras produce equally soft images at f2.
Believe Ken Rockwell and you'd be fooled into thinking the X100 is 'tack sharp' at f2 and his samples would show that too. I quote... 'The fast f/2 lens, is unchanged from the X100 — because it is already perfect.'

can't really say if performance is normal since i don't have the camera, but things definitely look sharper further back on the box than the 't'. perhaps your camera doesn't have the most accurate focus? it looks plenty usable to me wide open, but certainly not in competition with my sharpest f/2 and f/1.4 lenses.

OK, 3 samples showing the sharpness, or lack of with this camera. As previously stated, I'm not suggesting its a bad camera, on the contrary its a superb camera and the reviews across the web speak for themselves.I would say still not quite good enough at f2.8 and just about there at f4. The 35mm f1.4 at f1.4 is as sharp as the f4 sample from the X100s.

So for the sake of checking, here is a 100% of a remote control - I used an off center focus point, lit by the window behind it, handheld, focus is on the 'exit' button. I'm pretty happy with what it delivers tbh but don't examine 100% crops...well, ever, really, aside from editorial retouches, so I don't know really what this shows. Oh well.

Ok. I'm not going to let the sharpness thing put me off. Yet!
It's clearly a great camera otherwise it wouldn't be one of the most praised camera releases of modern times. So, I'm going to give this thing a chance and try to learn to work with it. Here's a few from today....

Hmmmm, your results at f2 do not coincide with mine! What sharpening have you applied in pp?
And, can I have your camera please?

Yeah, maybe you got a dud. While my lens isn't crazy sharp at f2, especially up close, I'd say it's probably in the same range as the photos above, although I haven't done any formal tests.

Same thoughts as douglasf13 - mine isn't crazy sharp, but I'm fine with it wide open, even close up (I'm looking for a messing-around shot I took of jellybeans, but can't put my hands on it).
This is shot RAW, converted in LR with no sharpening or other processing.

I said strong PP, and yes, I pushed sharpening a lot (not big problem on metal surface like a car)
I made some shots in macro mode and it is better to close let's say to f4 for that.
But hey! what a wonderful all around camera is this x100s!
some sepia tone to these (f2 + ND under daylight)

There is probably too much contrast but in this context it does not seem too bad
All the serie was shot at f2 with Fuji's ND on.

Random shot of nothing exciting. Have no issues with this lense up close for focus or sharpness though.
