Fujifilm 23mm lens is remarkably sharp in the centre of the image virtually throughout the entire aperture range, with only f/16 suffering from diffraction. Sharpness at the edges, however, isn’t so good, requiring the user to stop down to f/8 to get critically sharp results….lovely bokeh effects. Vignetting is practically a non-issue, and chromatic aberrations are present but very well-controlled. There is no barrel distortion and little vignetting even when shooting wide-open.
