I see it as f11 is OK but f16 on the M9 starts diffraction limitation...

Very well written article about why my macro shots were less sharp at small
apertures.

Includes a calculator to find out when your camera starts losing resolution,
too.

According to this, the Leica M9 should be perfect up to
f22 (as if anybody would stop down that far with a Leica M;-) )
