Hey guys!
I'm new to the forum. I had an X100s, x10, and now I have an X-T10. I originally bought a 35 1/4 with the camera and man, couldn't be happier with that lens. Lots of detail, tack sharp. Two days ago I got a 18mm. I'm not sure if I got a bad copy or something but the images are about as soft as warm jello, even stopped down to 5.6, the centers are just not sharp. JPEG's seem to look a little sharper than the RAW images which also seems odd to me and the aperture ring doesn't feel quite as solid as the one on my 35 1.4. I read review after review and every says the 18 is sharp at 2.8, or comparable to the 35. Do you all think it's a bad copy or just softer than I'm used to with the 35 or my x100s?
