Ian,
I have been contemplating the X-T2, so was interested in your image and
the one included in your link. The linked image has a lot of haze, so
it is really hard to get a sharp portion, but I worked with a crop and
found that Focus Magic at low levels would provide nice sharpening. I
have been disappointed at the sharpening provided in LRCC.
Your woodpecker is a small image, but, again, FM gave sharper feather
rendering.
You might give FM a try. I always look at images in FM before posting,
to see if a touch of sharpening will improve them. And, I am very
cautious about sharpening in LR, because, at least to my eyes, it seems
to introduce a grainy effect.

Hi List, but mainly directed at any Fuji X-T2, X-Pro2 or X100F owners.
Am I the only one who is having difficulty getting god results from
the raw X-T2 files in LR 6.8, I am not seeing the sharpness and they
seem to be very grainy when compared to the X-T1.
I have found following this advice gave improvements
<http://petebridgwood.com/wp/2016/02/x-pro2-render-my-raw/>
I then tried getting rid of the noise/grain with dfine2 which does
clear it up but reduces the sharpness slightly, Ok I admit that may be
down to technique or software how are the rest of you dealing with
these new generation Fuji raw files in LR
here is an example of the grain that I am seeing at iso 800, it has
only been processed using the advice above and cropped - the Woodpecker
<https://thattimeoflife.smugmug.com/Other/OMlist/i-wLmq587/L> you may
need to view it at original size
have I fallen into the clean digital pixel peeping trap and I should
embrace the grain as it's more film like.
