These two series show conclusively that at closer range, it is wise to pay attention to focus shift with the Fujifilm GF 50mm f/3.5 R WR LM. This is a distinctly enhanced behavior than at distance, where focus shift is minimized, and well-offset by depth of field gains.

For those looking for the best possible results from the Fujifilm GF 50mm f/3.5 at close range, these series will be very useful in understanding where to focus to optimize total sharpness.
