Gigapixel software. https://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/253192-leica-sl-image-thread-post-your-examples-here/page-312 Scroll down until you find the Summerfest photos. I still think the software is amazing and hope to find other ways to use it. But the performance of the 24-90 at the edge of the frame is even more impressive to me. I'm wondering now whether to get the 16-35 or wait for the prime 35.
