CP looks better here than on the XF 005 photos in the other thread. How is this possible?
You mean the 005XF recessed CP, or the shape?
If about drowning, then this is rather the specificity of the assembly. It seems, so far, no one has checked, but I think it's just that their hands are not planted at the end.
When it comes to form, CP can be written in very different ways. It is almost never a perfectly flat piece, and if it is polished, it can give the effect of very different shapes in the light.
It is best to look at its shape from a photo, where the person who took the picture tried to exactly capture the shape, in random pictures, it may not look so strange.
And yes, this is a detail that can vary greatly from batch to batch, and even between samples.
