Subject: Re: [Leica] depth of field information?

Is there a depth of field chart for Leica M lenses? 

An example of its use would be to answer this question:

With a wide angle lens stopped down to  f11 or f16 (or whatever) how 
close can an object be and still be in focus? I know the distance would 
be closer than the minimum focusing distance as indicated on the lens. 
What I don't know is how close and how it changes at each aperture. 

Is there a published document that contains this information? Or can this 
only be determined by testing?

Thanks,

Henry Ambrose
