Fuji xt-4 details not clear

[Maia]

Hello, 

I recently bought the XT-4 and I have issues with the appearance of details in the photos (when zoomed in). They are not just blurry but they also look sort of outlined. I have used Nikon for over 8 years - not professionally though only as a hobby, but have never had this problem before, no matter the settings. Could it be the lens that I’m using? I shoot 35mm. I’m attaching two samples of the photo: one in its full size and then the pic zoomed in. An advice from anyone would be much appreciated!

You should be okay at f13, It could be the lens sample, if it is possible, rent or borrow a similar brand of 35mm lens, put the camera on a tripod, with a remote release connected to rhe camera, and shoot a same scene using both lenses at the same settings, as well as trying an entirely different lens to use as a means to eliminate the brand as having sample issues.

Sometimes lenses are soft, sometimes the sensor in the camera is a slight bit tilted which throws things off, sometimes weird stuff happens.

You should be mostly be okay until around f16 - f22 before noticing artifacts in pixel peeping, depending on the lens. Of course if you are photographing window screens or things like that, you can get issues at f1.2.

Maybe I scanned this too fast but you don't specify what brand 35mm lens you used.
