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.
However, personally I expected a little, well quite a bit more, from this camera at the larger apertures. To get any sort of dof from this wide lens you need to be relatively close to your subject. This lens/camera just can\'t deliver sharp results. Perhaps I\'m expecting too much, but I traded my X-E1 + 35mm f1.4 for this as I wanted the smaller form factor and wider angle of view but the sharpness from the X100s at equiv distances at f2 compared to the X-E1 at f1.4 is really poor to be honest. These are all 100% crops...

Really poor!
