Leica things -

If you are on the Leica Forum, I posted the crop and original that I was
using to try out the A.I. 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.

Leica only,

Tina
