How to cure soft edges with Focus Stacking when using Dual Axis Shifting (DAS) with GFX100 and Tilt/Shift Schneider 28mm f4.5 PC lens in Architectural Shoots.
Nice one! That lens looks high end. I'll have to check that out. I've been waiting for the Fuji GF 30mm tilt/shift lens to come out, but this Schneider might be an option. I haven't stacked an interior shot yet.
Thank you and merry Xmas too. I have my name already down with Fuji for the 30mm PC. The Schneider 28 is the most amazing lens, but sadly, they only made 100 of them in total. At a sales price of $8,000, few people were buying them. Now they are scarcer than hen's teeth.
Very interesting, Christopher. Super.
Isn't it, says he, modestly. I'm delighted with it, as I used to think that one needed ~50 stacked images to achieve the same. I say that, because when i let my GFX100 software do the stacking, it shoots a whole slew of images.
Thanks you very much. That helps me a lot.
Oh man, never found someone who shows his pro techniques so free/open like you do. Thank you so much. Just awesome. I have my GFX 100s for about 9 month now and finally got my techart adapter to use it with the 24mm TS-E from Canon. I love this camera and sold all my 5d´s for it (5d + 5d MII + 5d SR). Don´t regret it! May I ask you a question? What advantage does the Dual Axis Shift bring? I am really curious sinc I always have my cam mounted to the tripod, not the TS-e24. I only do interieur and architecture with it and found your video while i was looking for focus bracketing. Thank you Christopher!
Edit: I think I just found out by myself, you don´t have to decide shifting horizontal or vertical using dual axis. Awesome. I always have to make a decision first :)
Always nice to hear that one is helping someone out there. If you are an architectural photographer, you will know that one should always try and use the longer lenses. This reduces perspective distortion. So, now with DAS, you can increase the are you are shooting and thereby using a longer lens. I find that about 70% of my interior images are shot with my Schneider 28 TS lens using DAS. The other benefit is that you get a final image with a great resolution. You probably, as i am, are looking forward to Fuji's GF30mm f/5.6 Tilt-Shift coming out next year.
@@christopherleggettphotography Yes I just found the lens roadmap some days ago and I must admit that I am super excited. This could be the final move to get rid of my remaining Canon stuff. The GFX100s and Fuji itself doing so much better. Thank you!
@@philippkremer1759 Welcome to the club
Great video Christopher.
May I ask you what the 4 movements are or displacements (sorry for my English) that you apply to the camera for the 4 sets of 4 pictures? I understand you have a tilt shift lens and you use the shift in one direction but usualy there is only one direction up down or left right. How do you manage to get 4 corners? Thanks again for your help to improve myself
The lens has shift on one axis only, but because I am using a Mirex adapter which also has a shift mode, I can then get DAS (Dual Axis Shifting) which gets me the 4 corners. View this video to better understand (note it is doing 9 quadrants) czcams.com/video/TmgQspi2iHI/video.html
Hope this has answered your question
@@christopherleggettphotography Thank you so much Christopher ! Yes this helps me better understand the point I was missing. have a good day and see you in the next video!

Great video, Christopher. Have you ever had blurry edges when you focus stack series of images? It may not happen with DAS but I've seen it many times, even with the GFX system and their lenses. Perhaps due to focus breathing...
You just taught me something. Focus Breathing. I did know that it existed, but did not know that it was call as such. Had to look it up. Thank you. 🙏🏻
Let me also come clean..... In the above video, where i show a perfect example of focus stacking, the image was actually shot with a GF32-64 in the Fuji focus stacking mode. It took 37 shots with a Profoto flash also going off, to create the outside sunlight feeling, viewable on the bedroom door and floor. I only just discovered (by necessity), as PC lens are manual, that I can get away with only 4 focus stacked shots with the S-K 28mm PC lens (and 3 with the Nikkor 19mm PC). Have yet to try it out the manual 4 shot mode on the GF lenses.
Love your approach to stacking technique man!
Do you mind if I follow that?
Comments like yours, make my effort worth while. So, my answer is "Please do" 🙏🏻
Christopher, this my be a dumb question but do you think there is any merit to using a GF 23mm and a DAS adapter on the GFX100?
Is there such an adapter out there?
But if there is, first my answer to your question is YES.
@@christopherleggettphotography thank you....no, not that I know of.....if you find one, would you kindly let us know?? Best to you...sal

Hello, thanks for very interesting videos.I have a question for you.I have the new Fujifilm GFX 100s and looking for a good tilt shift lens.You have a such a huge experience with those lenses.Which one do you suggest for me from all the lenses you are using?Thanks in advance and keep making such videos.
Love to help, but you must first give me an idea as to what you what to shoot with them.
@@christopherleggettphotography Hello,I want to use it for interior design photography and also for architecture.
@@victorfeinstein1815 Ok. that helps a lot, but first, welcome to the GFX100(S) club. Presently, in my opinion, the best cameras in the world. 80% of all my shots in the fields that you are interested in, are shot with my Schneider 28mm f4.5. Its just perfect for the job when using DAS (Dual Axis Shifting). Alas, it is very had to come by and i just sold my backup one. Next, there is no better lens than the Canon 17 PC or the Nikon 19 PC to cover those tight spots, or to make an area look bigger than it actually is. It is alway better to shoot with the longest lens possible for an area, therefore when permitable, I use the Hartblei 40mm PC. The list can go on, but with those, you have it covered.
@@christopherleggettphotography Thanks a lot!!!!!!
This is horrible
