>>3960666It is visible on the mtf, look at the graph above, it shows higher microcontrast closer to the centre and with quite a severe drop off as you increase image size\resolution.
I think it's an ok term to be used colloquially as mtf graphs can be confusing for people not technically minded, especially with the myriad of ways the data is presented in graphs. People used to say it a lot about Leica lenses, and I bet they do hit higher mtf values then film lenses of yesteryear. Reviewers\consumers being able to objectively measure these things is relatively new.
>>3960668Wrong, they don't make ALL their own lenses, but they do tend to make their best lenses, like the 135 1.8
Fuji the camera company don't make any of their own lenses, they're all done by a subsidiary company, Fujifilm optical division. Fujifilm are a chem company that sells cosmetics, emulsions and industrial chemicals, not an optical engineering company. Fuji also outsourced a lot of their camera engineering work to xacti, because they're not a consumer electronics company, and digital cameras are consumer electronics. Fuji don't even make their own sensors, at all, lol.
