I've rarely read such a nonsense. The Fuji G 23mm F4 is outstanding. I would like to know which 35mm lens / camera gives far superior results, especially in the border areas (I laugh myself to death) - as described by diglloyd.
I can judge myself and make comparisons, since I have the GFX50s and IQ3 / IQ4 with various lenses.
The GFX is not all gold was glitters, the camera also has bugs and their problems - but what diglloyd has written does not correspond to reality.

You obviously don t have subscription and therefore have not looked closely at the test photographs . Without testing with a specific objective in mind ..you only know that the results satisfy you . Fine for you but not nonsense or invalid .
I read his tests in detail and do not base anything of my conclusions on his “click bait “ blog posts .
Lets look specifically at the 23 GFX lens and his findings since you brought it up . His question is how will the 23 GFX lens perform on the next generation 100MP sensor . I consider the following to be as factual as it gets in lens testing .
1. The 23 relies on in camera profiling that reduces both distortion and aberrations . (FACT ) .
2. The in camera profiles when applied reduce the micro contrast in the corners (FACT ) a simple test of the files without profiles (only possible by avoiding LR ) compared side by side with the adjusted file . It has very little effect on edge contrast and can be seen primarily in the detail . You may not see it and you may also conclude its not important.
3. Files produced from a 100MP sensor show flaws that are not apparent at 50MP .
His point is that lenses relying on corrections in post processing may not be good enough when used on a 100MP camera .
IMHO its a valid concern if you plan on using the 23 on the 100mp GFX . You are correct in that most if not all MF wide angles rely on distortion corrections in post processing . So will the 23 be an excellent choice for the GFX 100 ....I think depends on the photographers specific requirements ....but you know what to look for ...
