Aperture Series: Sunstar Over as yet Unfrozen Beaver Pond (Leica M10 Monochrom)
This aperture series from f/4 through f/16 takes a critical look at near-to-far and across-the-frame sharpness as well as field curvature for the Leica 24mm f/3.8 Elmar-M ASPH on the 40MP Leica M10 Monochrom.
Also examined is how well f/16 holds up versus f/11, from diffraction effects.
Includes images from f/4 to f/16, plus crops.
