I think a lens along the line of 16-35mm is a photogs most important optic in this state of the game looking at the year 2020 but ultrawide get everyone in focus stopped now just a couple say f5.6 and be there. Stopping it down more just makes for higher ISO's and slower shudder speeds and its where a lens starts softening up due to diffraction which is a detraction. So I would make for a different plan of action! -- Mark William Rabiner Photographer ?On 9/19/18, 8:44 AM, "LUG on behalf of Don Dory via LUG" <lug-bounces+mark=rabinergroup.com at leica-users.org on behalf of lug at leica-users.org> wrote: Hi Jim, Just a point choir high resolution sensors such as you have; generally you are losing sharpness to distraction past f8. Generally speaking especially with a wide angle you will get crisper images holding a larger f stop especially with Leitz lenses. Definitely something to ask the engineers while we are in Wetzler this October.
