The (uncorrected) pincushion distortion would give the lens, at least theoretically, a bit better resolution in the diagonal corners compared to orthogonal borders?
I didn't realize, but Fuji sells an Arca-compatible plate for the dwarfish tripod-socket. Makes me wonder why not using a bigger plate and integrating an Arca-type swallow-tail? Sigma did that quite nicely (but expensive) with their additional foot for the 150-600 Sports.
I would hope for a firmware update for that lens to adjust the focus limiter. 5 m ... ∞ is really no big use, I would also need one from 1.75 m...3 m. And if I aim at closer distances, the twin motor AF is not exactly silent by scrubbing through the range.
But those are details, basically I find the lens worth the price.
