ꒌ РУЧНО ИЗОШТРАВАЊЕ са дигиталним макро-објективом. Ово је резултат уједначеног окретања од најближег до бесконачног (па и "иза бесконачног", са електронски фингираним системом focus-by-wire крај окретања није на бесконачном нити је почетак хода на најближем фокусу, на жалост). Рекло би се да добар део хода ове промене фокуса оде на блиска растојања, што и јесте намена оваквог објектива. Следи проба у таквом режиму, са веома блиским објектима.
► █░▓ THE IDEA WAS to try focus pulling all the way down from the closest distance up to the infinity (and beyond, these metaphysics you do get with the magically confusing focus-by-wire system). So I did that. The lens is my newly acquired Panasonic 30mm f1:2.8 Macro. My first macro lens ever! And bingo. A good one. But a dye-hard outdoor shooter first plays with the landscapes anyhow.
Focus-by-wire as an idea is generally bad, but at least this lens has an ideally tuned ring, the smoothness and resistance when rotating are just about ideal. I did my best to rotate the lens as slowly as possible with a uniform speed. The result was predictable and probably quite favorable with macro construction on mind.
This has been filmed exactly 20 minutes before the out-of-sight sunset. The sky was completely overcast, so no visible signs were there of the sunset itself, save the fading daylight. The Panasonic GX9 was handheld with no support. The catch was to rotate the focal ring as slowly and smoothly as possible to see the gradually changing effect on the off-focus area (and the bokeh if you will). It seems that a lot of movement in the first half went to "nothing" but would probably have been dealing with the critically small steps in the macro range distances. If that is true, than this proprietary focus-by-wire system does serve the primary macro function on the lens. Which is a good thing.
