And can the Fujifilm GF 30/3.5 deliver 100-megapixel captures?
Each time I shot the Fujifilm GF 30mm f/3.5 in the field, the outer zones disappointed me by failing to develop anything near the sharpness of the central 2/3 or so. Two lens samples behaved similarly.
Part of the issue is a real/actual depth of field that thins-out considerably in the outer zones, so I wondered if focus stacking might fully or partially overcome this performance disappointment.

Includes a six-frame focus stacked image and a single frame for comparison, with commentary and conclusions.
