Examples: Night Shooting (Panasonic S1R)
Includes images up to full camera resolution, but also 24 megapixel images downsampled from 46.7 megapixels. The 24MP variants are the same resolution as what can be captured on a Leica M240 or Leica M10, helping to provide perspective versus the rangefinder option.
Can a lens impaired by sensor cover glass still produce satisfying images? This page shows examples at various apertures in night shooting. The Zeiss ZM 35mm f/1.4 Distagon is such a gorgeous performer that even though it is technically impaired at wider apertures, its core rendering style is still rewarding.
The Zeiss ZM 35mm f/1.4 was mounted on the Panasonic S1R using the Novoflex Leica M Lens to Leica SL/T Camera Body Lens Adapter.
