Hi idsurfer,
Thanks for the pics.
Looking at your flickr account I found this photo:

I guess it is the way the lens draws and that's that. The fall-off between focus and out of focus isn't drastic and I think it never really was with that lens. However, the field curvature is still there. On that shot above, I imagine that you tried to focus on the rider as he was passing. However, the plants in the centre of the frame are very much in focus, but so are the hills behind it, especially when you compare them to the hills on the left.
I've been researching this switch back to APS-C to get more lenses. I don't want to have two systems (APS and RX1 or A7x and RX1) and I think tha the goldilocks balance is in APS, hence why I am exploring that route. Just had a look at the Fuji 23mm 1.4 that you can get for the X-xx cameras and that has a nice way of drawing the photo. It has good separation. Not as sharp as the 24mm 1.8, but it behaves a bit more to my liking. I do find it difficult, though, to buy any of those cameras just because the size they have (same as a Contax G2, which I think Fuji ripped off when designing the X Pro cameras) is silly compared to what Sony has done with the a6000/6300/6500/NEX6-7 cameras and even more silly compared to the RX1. That 23mm does work nicely from what I can see, though. (I also took a look at another 23mm they make and that looks like a big step backwards)
