Aperture Series: Moots Moot X YBB 29er (M240)
Shot with the Leica M240 using the Leica R-adapter M.
This example utilizes a subject which falls into a plane (“planar” subject), hence any deviation from perfect focus shows up either from focus error or focus shift.
Moots Mooto X YBB 29er
Shot with natural light at very high altitude.
ACR settings: 5300°K, Tint +8, Camera Profile = Embedded
Leica R-adapter M used via tripod foot mount with 2-second self-timer and Light Metering Mode = Advanced ('Classic' with Live View off is better). The shutter vibration danger zone centers around 1/60 to 1/30 second. 2-second self timer with Light Metering Mode = Advanced means this is a risk.
