X-Trans III - no need for high Detail sharpening?

[spilla]

Hi all. Long time X-T1 shooter, I have been testing an X-Pro2.  As you know, many Fuji shooters (myself included) who process in Lightroom sharpen with the Detail slider near 100%, as this seems to get the crispest results with least artifacts.  

 

In my processing of files from the X-Pro2 I noticed that the images no longer take high Detail well. To my eyes it created noise without adding sharpness. Good news is the files sharpened well with the detail slide around 20-30% (which is what I generally use for cameras other than Fuji).  

 

Any of you have the same experience?

 

----

Addendum: I made some images with the X-Pro2 that demonstrate this.  I sharpened with high-detail sharpening at my standard settings for my X-T1, and then again with the detail slider at 25 and tried to match the amount of sharpness. To my eyes, the low-detail sharpening is just as sharp, but with a smoother, less prominent grain artifact. There is not a lot of difference in this iso200 image, but with grainier starting images, I think the low-detail sharpening will be the clearer winner.

 

Specifics:

image details: X-Pro2, XF50-140F2.8 @ 50mm f/11 iso200 1/60sec

processing: lightroom cc with no film sim, minimal basic adjustments

no_sharp: sharpening turned to 0

high_detail sharpening: amount 25, detail 100, radius 1.0, no masking

low_detail sharpening: amount 44, detail 25, radius 1.0, no masking

I have made the same exerience. By processing my last holiday pics I used only 25% to sharp my pics. For me this was the best result for my pics.

I'm experiencing similar results.

 

With my X-T1 I would occasionally use Nik Sharpening in CS6.

But with my X-T2, Nik RAW sharpening, at default settings, is way too much.

My typical ACR settings:

amount 50..70, detail 5..7, radius 1.0, no masking

I.e. common idea decrease 'details' but increase 'amount'
