This series from f/4 to f/9 looks at sharpness across the field and near to far for the Fujifilm GF 20-35mm f/4 R WR on a finely detailed landscape scene. Also includes a 4-frame focus stack at f/9.

Includes images up to full camera resolution.

The GFX100S Focus BKT feature failed (as nearly always) to produce a sharp INF frame, a frequent and tedious bug in the GFX100S. The BKT feature is still useful but it requires *always* shooting an INF frame if only to see if better results can be obtained (yes, 90% of the time). Luckily I had shot an aperture series with far-distance focus just prior to the Focus BKT stack, otherwise the stack would have been useless.
