See my Sony mirrorless wishlist.

This series at 15mm on the 60-megapixel Sony A7R IV evaluates the Sony FE 12-24mm f/2.8 GM from f/2.8 through f/11 for across the field sharpness and total performance as to general landscape photography.

It is also an excellent demonstration of just how critical focus placement is in context of the peripheral forward focus shift, as well as why autofocus should not be trusted for optimal focus placement with 3D subject matter.
