Except for the heavy barrel distortion, it looks like a pretty ok lens. I think the heavy vignetting is partly sensor related (due to the close to the sensor lens design), just like UWA on FF has heavy vignetting. Leica tried/(tries?) to solve that with a change in the microlens structure in front of the sensor.
What caught my attention was that this Fuji lens throws in a similar performance to the Canon EF-S 10-18mm IS STM and Canon EF-M 11-22mm IS STM which are priced at €269 and €399 respectively, where this Fuji is priced at €999. Yes, the Fuji has a bigger focal range than both and is constant f4, but it still seems like a pretty rough deal to me... Especially since the constant f4 is not always very useful for an UWA for APS-C.
To put that price into perspective: the FF Canon EF 16-35mm f4 L IS USM costs €1099.
