Aperture Series: Electrical Substation (M240)
See the similar scene with the 100mm f/2.8 APO-Macro-Elmarit-R.
This scene gives us a criticial look at imaging performance on a geometrically plane subject. It also affords an evaluate of focus shift (or not), and field curvature.
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 is as high as 1/125 sec. 2-second self timer with Light Metering Mode = Advanced.
f: 2, 2.8, 4, 5.6, 8, 11, 16
sec: 1/1500, 1/750, 1/350, 1/180, 1/90, 1/45, 1/25

Diglloyd Guide to LEICA contains in-depth coverage of Leica M system cameras and lenses, with additional coverage of Leica M Monochrom, Leica Q.
Special emphasis is placed on Leica M lenses and certain Zeiss ZM lenses.
- Make better images by learning how to get the best results right away.
- Save money by choosing the right lens for your needs the first time, particularly the Summilux/Summicron/Elmarit choice and/or Zeiss ZM.
- Make better images, a sort of “cheat sheet” saving yourself months or years of ad-hoc learning. Processing parameters are discussed and shown.
- Jaw-dropping image quality found nowhere else utilizing Retina-grade images up to full camera resolution, plus large crops [past 2 years or so].
- Real world examples with insights found nowhere else. Make sharper images just by understanding lens behavior you won’t read about elsewhere.
- Aperture series from wide open through stopped down, showing the full range of lens performance and bokeh.
- Optical quality analysis of field curvature, focus shift, sharpness, flare, distortion, and performance in the field.
