I just dropped a ton of money on this X-H2 because I wanted those 40 megapixels for my big landscape prints but honestly Im starting to regret it because nothing I have looks sharp. I went out to the coast yesterday to do some test shots before my big trip to the Dolomites in three weeks and when I got home and looked at the files on my 4K monitor I actually wanted to cry. I'm using the 16-80mm f4 because everyone said it was a great all-rounder but it looks like total mush on this sensor. I mean absolute mush. I stopped it down to f8 on a tripod with a remote shutter and the corners are just a blurry mess and even the center doesnt have that bite I was expecting from a high res body.

Its so frustrating because I moved over from a Sony A7III thinking Fuji colors would save me time in post but if the files arent sharp then what is even the point. I have about $1500 to spend on one really good piece of glass before I leave for Italy and I just need something that can actually resolve enough detail for this sensor. I keep reading conflicting reviews online about the 10-24mm being okay but then some people say it cant handle the 40mp sensor at all and then others are saying just get primes but I really prefer the flexibility of a zoom when hiking through the mountains.

Maybe I should just ditch the zoom idea if they all suck? I looked at the 18mm f1.4 or maybe the 23mm but I worry they wont be wide enough for the scale of the peaks. Then there is the 16-55mm red badge zoom but its so heavy and some people say its getting old and might not be up to the task either. Im just tired of pixel peeping and seeing blur where there should be crisp rocks and trees. It feels like I bought a Ferrari but I'm driving it on flat tires. Does anyone here actually have an X-H2 and a lens that makes them go wow when they zoom in to 100 percent for landscapes? What is actually the sharpest lens I can buy right now that wont let this 40mp sensor go to waste?
