The other day I posted a comparison of the Fujifilm X-E2 with the FUJINON XF 18-55mm lens shooting the same test chart as compared to the Nikon D750 with the Nikkor 85mm ƒ/1.8G.
Some thought that this wasn't such a good test. So, based on the recommendation of the same lens on both cameras I am doing that here with a converter on the Fuji to hold the Nikkor lens.
The second complaint was I shot at too high of aperture introducing diffraction. So this is shot at ƒ/5.6 rather than ƒ/16.

IMHO the antialiasing filter on the sensor of the Nikon D750 affects the performance and the Fujifilm X-E2 is sharper. By the way the difference in the crops is due to the sensor size difference.
I do think the extra megapixels of the 24 MP Nikon when running the images full-frame may give it a hair advantage.
I predict there is a good chance in the future with the higher MP chips that the need of the antialiasing filter is not as needed for my work most of the time. I think more people will want their chips without that filter.
Just for fun this last photo

Thanks for this interesting comparison! It was a very good thing to try.
I think the two cameras are almost indistinguishable but would give the tiniest edge to the D750. I do notice that the Fuji has applied a bit more sharpening than the Nikon based on the white fringing around the black lined.
