Focusing your medium format camera for landscape photography can be tricky because of the lens characteristics and sensor size. In todays video, I share with you my approach to creating sharp landscape photography photos with my Fujifilm GFX 50S II and the Fujinon GF 30mm F3.5 Lens. The focus technique we will be using is called hyperfocal focusing. I hope you enjoy the video!
