    Fujifilm X100T poor quality RAW conversion?

      I've been experiencing what appears to be poor quality RAW image conversion from the new Fujifilm X100T camera that is now supported by Lightroom 5.7.

       

      It appears that Lightroom may be "honoring" the Chromatic Aberration correction that the camera itself writes to the EXIF files. This causes images with high contrast areas to appear very blurry or almost like they've had a filter applied to make them appear hand drawn. It may also be that the camera itself isn't focusing properly, but my tests confirm that the camera can focus just fine.

       

      I've collected a few examples and additional details here:

      Generally speaking I don't apply any in-camera sharpening, noise reduction, or other corrections as I prefer to work with the RAW file in Lightroom. The examples linked above do not apply any post-capture noise reduction, sharpening, chromatic aberration correction, or any other post-capture edits.

       

      Has anyone else experienced this with the Fuji X100T? Is this typical of the X100 series image quality, or with Lightroom's processing of those RAW images?
