Aperture Series: Bags of Soil
This aperture series from f/3.5 to f/11 evaluates the Fujifilm GF 30mm f/3.5 R WR for focus shift, sharpness across the frame, and real depth of field.
Bag of Soil
Adobe Camera Raw 13.2.0.738. View ACR Settings. Camera Profile = Camera PROVIA. Vignetting correction for f/3.5 (substantial) and f/5.6 (mild). Diffraction mitigating sharpening for f/8, f/11.
Focus was on the bag of soil near center, the one heaped on top of the other. As with many other scenes, the camera biased focus a bit too close, but that doesn’t matter for our comparison here.
