It is true that the Fujinon XF 35 mm f/2 R WR didn’t avoid slip-ups. Still, even before you tested it, you could expect most of these flaws by just looking at its parameters. It would be difficult to be very demanding when you deal with a tiny f/2.0 lens because it will never correct the vignetting well. Small physical dimensions of standard lenses also mean bad coma correction and the distortion slip-up is caused by the approach adapted by the Fujifilm company – they more often than not let the software deal with that aberration.
