This aperture series from f/4 through f/11 looks at near-to-far and across-the-frame sharpness for the Leica 18mm f/3.8 Super-Elmar-M ASPH on the 40MP Leica M10-R.
Leica 18mm f/3.8 Super-Elmar-M ASPH Aperture Series: Setting Sunstar Over Snowy Beaver Pond
Includes images up to full camera resolution from f/4 to f/11, plus crops.
Regrettably, Leica has quietly discontinued the Leica 18mm f/3.8 Super-Elmar-M ASPH as well as the Leica 24mm f/3.8 Elmar-M ASPH, two of my favorites for landscape shooting. As well as the Leica 24mm f/1.4 Summilux-M ASPH. What is the future of a platform where some of its most appealing lenses go out of production?
