Fujifilm GFX100/GFX100S: Optimizing Depth of Field Placement for Landscape Photography
re: Fujifilm Medium Format eg Fujifilm GFX100S: What’s Missing in Lenses
Depth of field is rarely adequate for landscape photography unless the scene is all at far distance. This page looks at two choices of focus position and how that plays-out for sharpness on the near and far areas. A 2-frame focus stack is included as well.
Advice is given on an automated way to obtain single-shot sharpness better than one is likely to obtain by manually choosing the point of focus.
Why not guarantee the best single-shot frame and defer the stack-or-not-to-stack decision?
