This aperture series evaluates the Leica 35mm f/2 APO-Summicron-SL ASPH from f/2 through f/11 on the 47-megapixel Leica SL2 using a subject that shows all sorts of out of focus shapes.

Its primary goal is to evaluate how out of focus shapes render relative to in-focus subject matter, and so comments upon sharpness, bokeh, focus shift, secondary color, and aperture breathing.

Includes images up to full camera resolution, plus crops.

Flare issues aside, this is the finest performance I have ever seen from a 35mm lens, in every respect. Get yours.
