Very well excuted example of the classic rangefinder-design with a major problem. It is a joy to use for stree-photography and people, easy to use, compact. But mine had the same flaw Mr. Ditto reported here: Unsharpness in the upper left corner of the image at all apertures. You could see this easily in a letter-sized print. To be clear: I did expect a decline of performance to the edges and that would be ok with any lense especially of this compact size. Dut one can not work around the asymmetrical uneveness found in my sample of the camera. It is one those kind of failures which should never find its way onto the shelfs of any reputable dealer. Im not quite sure what to make out of this as the unsharpness didnt look like from a decenterd lense and was uneven over the field. As the return-date had passed when I got aware of the problem, I sold the camera with a considerable loss. I had send it to Fuji three times before but they were unable and in the end obviously unwilling to solve the problem. With that out of the way: I found it to be an exeptionally nice and handy camera! It hast some minor quirks to it, though: Activating the flash is obviously nothing Fuji would assume the user would do quite often as you have to assign it to a button or dig it up from the menu every time you need it. And when you get to the Flash-Menu dont assume it works the same way as any other menu-item. You have to confirm the selected item via the Back-button, not via "OK" or a push on the Joystick as in any other menu. But all in all, using the X100f is a very pleasing experience and I would have accepted its few little quirks if only the lense had delivered some kind of more even performance. If you get one: Check your sample carefully and if you find the same kind of problem, let Fuji and amazon know, what you think about it!
