Just published in my Zeiss Guide is a aperture series in 1/3 stops from f/2 through f/16.

I spend more time on analysis in this series than on the previous example aperture series, and it is revealing of how the 25/2 Distagon behaves.

Much more coming on the Zeiss 25/2 and the Leica 21/3.4 Super-Elmar-M. I had some wonderful weather for shooting, perhaps one of the most glorious days I’ve ever seen in this area, with snow filtering down in the sunlight for several hours.

I stayed warm with the Western Mountaineering Flash XR down jacket and Flash down pants and IbexWear Shak Hoody wool pullover and wool jacket, even down to 10° F.
