This 7-frame focus stacked image is lovely—the detail and color and the rendering of the desert in and the color combinations and shadowing and lighting and contrasting colors of oranges and blues are just great. I love the way I can use the 50/3.5 for focus stacking.

You cannot make an image like this without focus stacking. Nothing else can remotely approach the detail in this image.

This example offers a 363 megapixel version scaled to 22000 pixels wide—the maximum that Gigapixel AI allows (an arbitrary restriction the developers refuse to fix).

I love the Fujifilm GF 50mm f/3.5 for focus stacking—best lens ever for Fujifilm medium format.
