>>4154978The old 56mm f1.2 is still one of the sharper lenses relative to the rest on fuji and APS-C in general, comparable to if not superior to the sony 85mm f1.8. Which you can see being used here.
APS-C just can't exactly get as sharp as full frame and packing megapixels into it isn't going to get you there. The image circle has to render the details just as finely, but 50% smaller, while smaller photosites have to perform just as well as larger ones. You would be spending several thousand dollars per lens to achieve that, and your camera would be twice as expensive. It's not feasible or sensible. If your sensor is smaller, don't blow your image up as much. That's life.
Making the X-T5 and X-H2 40mp was a huge mistake on fuji's part (if they wanted to be nice to people), when they should have been pushing the sensor tech of the X-H2s. Better megapixels >>>>>>>> bigger megapixels. But it's business, suckers get scammed into paying for more megapixels, realize they suck, and then pay extra for the X-H2s with its better megapixels. Just like how the X-H2 exists to milk you for another few hundred when you realize the larp controls on the X-T# cameras are stupid (and slap snoy in the face with a better body design than literally every camera they make). Meanwhile micro four thirds is probably going to die because they did exactly this, they made better megapixels before they made more megapixels and the cameras get 200% the performance out of smaller sensors. All the bodies were well designed. there was no scammy upgrade path so profits were too low. RIP.
