This series looks at near-to-far performance at 12mm of the Sony FE 12-24mm f/2.8 GM from f/2.8 through f/11. For a near-far landscape scene, can f/11 get the depth of field 'job' done, or is a focus stack needed?
Sony FE 12-24mm f/2.8 GM Aperture Series: Blue Water among Orange Streambed Boulders, Tenaya Canyon
Includes images from f/2.8 through f/11 at up to full camera resolution (two focus positions for f/11), plus a 2-frame focus stack at f/11, plus crops.
Making an image this wide on Nikon mirrorless or Canon mirrorless or Fujifilm medium format or the Leica SL2 system is more troublesome. On Canon mirrorless, you can lens-adapter-on the Canon EF 11-24mm f/4L. And you can adapt the Sigma 12-24mm f/4 DG HSM Art DSLR lens to Nikon mirrorless, again with a lens adapter. But so far, Sony is untouchable for ease and quality of extreme wide angle shooting.
