Sean Reid, of Reid Reviews, just published a follow-up article to his test of the Fujifilm XF27/2.8 lens, titled "XF Lens Res. Revisited". In this article Sean repeats a number of his previous tests of Fuji and Zeiss lenses, but this time using AccuRaw. In addition, he also tests the effect of software correction of lens aberration on lens resolution. Unsurprisingly, software correction of lens aberration can result in noticeable reductions in resolution. Many modern cameras are sold with lenses that have very significant levels of aberration that is automatically corrected by the raw developer. But "there's no free lunch".

Resolution loss due to software correction is a topic that isn't often discussed, and so Sean's article is well worth the read. You can find it here.

Sean Reid, of Reid Reviews, just published his extensive test of the Fujifilm XF27/2.8 lens. As usual with Sean's reviews, it very comprehensively covers the lens' performance as regards resolution, aberration, vignetting, etc.

For this review however, Sean also took things a little further, and tested the effect of the raw converter used on apparent resolution. He tested Lightroom, AccuRaw, Raw Converter EX, Capture One and Iridient Developer.
