The Effect of Aperture
Much has been written about the effect of aperture on the resolution in an image. Party because the Fuji lenses are of such high quality we were able to study the effect of reducing aperture on image quality. All the shots were made from a Manfrotto 535 MPRO tripod, a massive chunk of legs to bear so small a camera - we doubt it moved at all! On the 60mm lens the quality was superb at both f2.4 and f4.0 and remained that way until diffraction started to kick in at f11. This is the calculated diffraction limit for this size of chip.
