Tariq, I think both lenses are fantastic. But I shoot exclusively street and my family photos, which means that if the x100 had soft corners I could spend a lifetime without noticing.
Anyway I popped out to the office stairwell because I remember there is a gigantic wall about 50m away. Dirty glass and glare etc so dont expect to see 100% detail, but just to compare corner and centre. All photos jpeg SOOC without any sharpening.
F8
F8 Centre
F8 Corner
F2
F2 Centre
F2 Corner
I couldnt get a straight photo because I was trying to avoid the glare as much as possible, but this is a straight as I could do to check distortion
Dont know if you can draw any useful conclusion from these crappy photos but this is as close as I will ever get to lens testing
edit sorry I think I magnified the f2 crops more, anyway I hope you get an idea.
