Centre sharpness is excellent from the widest aperture of f/2, dropping off slightly at the narrowest aperture of f/16, due to diffraction. When viewed at normal printing or web sizes, this slight softening isn’t noticeable, but you can just about see it when viewing at 100%. The edges aren't as sharp as the centre, particularly at wide apertures. The sharpest results can be seen at f/8-f/11.

Given the quality of Fujifilm lenses, it's no surprise that this one also performs spectacularly when it comes to sharpness. Wide open, the 50mm f/2 offers exceptionally sharp results in the center with only the slightest hint of corner softness by comparison. Stopping down a bit will sharpen things up across the frame. We measured optimal sharpness, with practically flat sharpness graph, at f/5.6. Past f/5.6, image quality remains very sharp, although we do begin to measure a slight dip in sharpness as you continue to stop down. At f/11, sharpness is still very good, while diffraction-related softness becomes more noticeable at the narrowest aperture of f/16.
