Sharpness at 70mm

The sharpness tests for this review were carried out using a real-world subject rather than a test chart. The Fujifilm GF 35-70mm F4.5-5.6 WR lens was attached to a Fujifilm GFX 50S II camera body, which in turn was mounted on a sturdy tripod. Self-timer mode was activated. Slight tonal changes are due to slight changes in natural light during the session.

The full frame at 70mm

The centre is very sharp even when shooting wide open, so you can happily use f/5.6-f/16. Diffraction sets in at at f/22 and especially f/32.

The edges aren't quite as sharp as the centre, being just a little soft at f/5.6, with f/8-f/16 the optimum settings.
