Fujifilm GF 35-70mm f/4.5-5.6 Focus Stacking for Landscape Photography
I’ve added a few more examples to my focus stacking page for the Fujifilm GF 35-70mm f/4.5-5.6, including an image with fresh and fluffy snow, which I’d not done before. It’s interesting how 100MP crosses a threshold of realism by resolving snow that lower resolution cameras utterly fail at, often “finger painting” (smearing) the fine detail of snow.

Includes images up to full camera resolution plus single frame vs stacked image, and commentary on each.
The Fujifilm GFX100S + Fujifilm GF 35-70mm f/4.5-5.6 makes a very fine lens for focus stacking. As with the comparisons I previously showed, prime lenses in its range might be unnecessary. The already excellent 100MP images look stupendous at 50MP—showing that it is always better to capture more to start with.
