First pair: same near focus target, f1.4 versus f16. Third: f1.4 and far focus target. Geometry, camera transform, lighting and exposure stay fixed. This is not a physical lens test, AI inference or a video focus pull. See the recorded settings and native files. The blog cover is separate conceptual generated artwork.
