I went to a pre-thanksgiving party and talked for a while with an old college housemate. It started about how you get from “Konstantinos" -> "Gus” (father's nickname) -> “Deano” -> “Dean”, but then we talked about pranks we used to pull on other students at Caltech.

I think that close wide-angle portraits are a good use of this camera. Portrait mode in iPhone is medium angle, so can't be shot this close and wide-angle shots have too much in focus. You can compare this to the single sensor wide-angle image coming from the camera to see how important DoF control can be at getting the subject to stand out from the background.

Sharpness is a real issue. Even though this almost a 78 megapixel photo, there is a lot of softness even in the most in-focus areas. Part of that may be related to the indoor lighting, part of it may be some aggressive denoising in Lumen's processing, part of it may simply be camera shake. In any case, it's almost impossible to do sharpening in post-processing on this with the image being this big. I found a better option is to depend on adding film grain instead.
