I love how automated focus stacking can make impossible-depth-of-field images, even if I must shoot an infinity focus frame* due to broken Fujifilm firmware for Focus BKT (broken for 5+ years and counting, Fujifilm are you lazy or incompetent or clueless or cognitively blind, which is it as there are no other options).
Shot using the Focus BKT feature*. Stacked 16 frames using Zerene Stacker.
Detail across the frame is incredibly consistent and of very high sharpness—that Fujifilm GF 55mm f/1.7 is absolutely the best lens of the lineup anywhere near its focal length, prime or zoom.
* As always, the INF frame I shot was sharper than the last from shot made by the incompetent camera. I now just make it a tedious but essential habit when doing focus stacked images.
