  1. Thanks for the reply, JLM. To see the photos on Google Drive, use your scroll wheel to zoom in to 100%. I shoot quite often with my tripod, but only at night, so it doesn't show up clearly then.
  2. Hi all, After years of saving up, reading the Fujirumors site, and all-round excitement, I finally picked up an X-T2 kit last month thanks to the sale. So far I love the camera, and overall I'm satisfied with the results, but I'm not sure about my 18-55mm copy. Occasionally images look quite odd, with a sort of double edge around objects. I do mostly architectural photography, so it's pretty visible around roofs and chimneys, even at 50% zoom. I'm coming from a far older Nikon D70 with its 18-70mm kit lens, and it certainly doesn't exhibit anything similar. I've attached a 100% crop of an example. For reference, the image is f5.6, 1/210 shutter speed, at 21mm. At f5.6 this bit should definitely be in focus, and the center of the image is very sharp. Here's a link to the full image: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-xjB93pfLURmZOvXs0XOnpAKaMWyFbcl/ The second example is f5, 1/350, 26mm. Full res: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1XSrQiZ9oNdM4tLvDz2PFyzu0v3qN6HNg In both examples you can see the center is sharp, but then deteriorates quickly in the corners with the strange double edge around the chimneys. At those apertures, with the chimneys only a couple meters back from the focal plane, they should definitely still be in focus. It's not bokeh. The 18-55 is my first lens with OIS, but both photos were taken with OIS off. Before someone asks, I bought it brand new, never been dropped, etc. Any advice much appreciated! This is certainly unexpected and I'm trying to decide if it's worth sending the lens to Fuji. Thank you!
