Aperture Series @ 24mm: Pescadero Creek, Forest View (Leica SL)
Leica SL camera firmware v1.10. OIS disabled.
This relatively far distance scene looks at sharpness and contrast, field curvature, vignetting and overall lens performance at the 24mm setting of the Leica 24-70mm f/2.8-4 Vario-Elmarit-SL ASPH.
The 6000 size is the full resolution image from the Leica SL as processed from the DNG and not resampled or otherwise modified, other than saving as very high-quality JPEG. This image comes alive on an iMac 5K display.
Pescadero Creek, Forest View
Adobe Camera Raw 9.3.1 (520). ACR settings. Camera Profile = Embedded. Distortion has been been corrected by ACR using the built-in lens profile (no choice about it when using ACR).
