Long Telephoto lenses and increasing depth of field?
Re: Long Telephoto lenses and increasing depth of field?

You've hit on one reason why m43 and long lenses pair up well. The folks using 35mm format gear and 400–600mm lenses can't make use of deep DOF 'cuz it simply isn't available to them. Well, of course, neither can the m43 folks with their 100–400mms—shallow-ish DOF just comes with this territory—but at least we can use non-back-breaking gear in the process.
The thing with safaris and other long-lens situations is to isolate a single subject at closer-than-infinity distances. When taking pics of animal pairs or groups, take a more environmental approach and move further away (or use a shorter focal length).

The Fujifilm X-T5 is the company's latest classically-styled APS-C mirrorless camera. It gains the 40MP sensor and AF system from the X-H2 but in a body with a more stills-focused slant. We've been putting it through its paces.
