I have the X-T2 and the same lens, well probably too many lenses, but have not experienced this. The AF is very accurate, almost all the time. The only time the camera misses is when it hits a nearby obstacle instead, such as when trying to focus on a bird in a tree with a lot of nearby small branches. I have two X-T2 bodies, and they both perform the same. I wonder if there are a few out there with problems or if some are being impacted by a firmware bug. I've even been shooting birds in flight with the highest AF accuracy I've experienced; around 90+%. I'd be on the phone with Fujifilm if I was experiencing that issue. The trees could potentially be excusable if it was a one of, but that house shouldn't have any issue at all. According to FujiRumors, there should be an updated firmware soon. If that doesn't solve it, I'd recommend calling and sending the camera in for a check.

What a stupid answer [emoji6]  
Why would you not use the proper tool for the situation? In this case, MF for landscape and scenic photography?
 
I am not in the market for a X-T2 anyway, by the way, but if I wanted to focus on such fine tree structures, then I would not trust the AF (especially with the fine MF aids that the X-T cameras provide).

Why would you use autofocus with such static structures? It's not like those trees (or most trees actually) would suddenly start to run off.
 
I only have a Gen.1 and Gen.2 Fuji X camera (X-Pro1 + X-T1), but I mostly use manual focus in such situations.

these blurred pictures might ( even at 250) be the fruit of motion blur or there is something wrong about this camera somewhere.
 
I recently bought a 16-55 and shot several pictures (on X-T1) which were not as sharp as they should have been. Turns out that the aperture of this lens didn’t close at the chosen value straight away, it looked like it was doing this in slow motion and if you quickly shot ( it might have taken a second to completely close) there were lot of shots out of focus.
 
I returned the lens and decided anyway that it was too big and heavy for me.

Okay, but as you said "everything will appear out of focus, even with a small aperture." So, a small aperture is no fix here. And should not be required to compensate for AF inacurracy.

Oh my goodness, here we go. Listen Mr. smart, i do understand depth of field and all. But. This question is about AF accuracy. Why is there AF anyway? If i point my camera at a tree, then the AF should just do it's job, and focus on that tree. Right? Because it is a tool. Why do you think i was in automatic mode? I was in manual. By the way, on many many shots in this series, f5,6 was way softer than f/4. Also had soft images with stopped down apertures. So again, this is about AF acurracy. And you know, sometimes we use an open aperture. And i'm used to AF tools that just focus on that focus point.

Why is this a problem for you?
 
Any photographer who understands depth of field - and, if necessary, how to use aperture priority if shooting in automatic - would be able to get around this issue.
 
Your camera is a tool; learn how to use it.

Yes. I consider Affinity unusable for raw processing and particularly so for Fuji RAF files. Affinity has an X-Trans problem with color artifacting. More importantly it has a very odd design quirk that I consider fatal. Affinity's raw processing is destructive; it forces you to "develop" the raw file to an RGB image (TIFF) and in the process it trashes all the work you did with the raw processing tools. You're left with the TIFF (afphoto) file but should you decide to return to the raw processing tools and the work you did with the raw file you're forced to start from scratch. Unacceptable.

Hi
 
Have been also looking for satisfying solution once and for all for quite long time, but finally comparing fuji X-T2 own jpeg IQ with LR results I see pretty same results in sharpness and color render. Maybe x-trans sensor does not give out the real life view by human eye? There is certainly problem with fuji own jpeg engine as well then, because green leaves don't give out quite any brown color. Irident x transformer certainly makes things more natural and sharp, but it seems to make even sharp by deafult bokeh

I found that I still needed Photoshop so have ditched C1!
