Aperture Series: View Over Alabama Hills to Lone Pine Peak and Mt Whitney (Leica M10-R)
This series from f/1.4 through f/8 examines total imaging performance of the Zeiss ZM 35mm f/1.4 Distagon on a distance scene, which reveals lens faults mercilessly. Sharpness near-to-far and across-the-field along with field curvature, focus shift and general imaging performance. Compare to the same scene with the Leica 28mm f/1.4 Summilux-M ASPH.
Includes images from f/1.4 through f/8 at up to full resolution, plus crops.
