Come on, most V lens were designed in 60s-80s with different requirements.
You don't put V lens on MFDB for the sharpest photos, may be for the "look".

The Fuji-made H lens supposed to be pretty darn good too. May be not S lens
good (not sure), but certainly can put up a fight.

It remains to be seen what the new XCD (from Nitoh) and the new Fuji GFX
lens can do, comparing to the S lens, but I am sure they will be
competitive.
