normal shot.

normal shot layered with back focused shot with depth of field increased to cover everything but the subject, and a minimum focus distance shot with minimum depth of field.

same as above but "soft light" layered.

same but composed as RGB.

the 43mm f1.9 has quite a lot of focus breathing so its not too good for this effect, still pretty neat though

back home snapping with the LX3.

got an update on the Df, damaged shutter blades, my repair guy is confident he can replace them, so it will come back to me eventually and for a repair cost i can actually cover!
