I've never done that with the Fujifilm GFX 50s II medium format camera, together with their native GF lenses. SO, now i tested it with the Fujinon GF 110mm ƒ2.0 lens.

I can't say that I was good at it. When i used the AUTO stacking feature, it came to the conclusion to take a whopping 117 shots... Which was totally over the top. Not to mention the computer resources to deal later with many TIFF files in Zerene Stacker. But it worked well, even if it took a while longer.

 

Clean Glasses... not that clean close up

And by the way... when you get such sharp, high resolving images... you suddenly realize, that a seemingly clean glass, is anything but clean. *LOL*

Lots of particle spots. And drying spots after water droplets. It's really interesting to see all the little things, you normally don't see.

I think I will do manual focus bracketing next time (which means according to a fixed interval and steps). Albeit it seems that the Fujifilm GFX takes very, very little focus steps between shots. Perhaps it has something to do with the lens i have attached, which is after all a bright short telephoto lens.

Nevertheless; I certainly don't need 117x 51 MP shots for just a single, standing glass...

 

One shot only in comparison...

the depth of sharpness is extremly shallow you see barely anything sharp, except a small portion of the rim. See below.
