Leica 35mm f/1.4 Summilux-M ASPH Animated Aperture Series, on M9

To Leica Guide I’ve added two animated aperture series from f/1.4 through f/16 in 1/2-stop increments, for the Leica 35mm f/1.4 Summilux-M ASPH on the Leica M9.

Even if you don’t own Leica, it’s well worth a look.

The entire frame at high resolution is shown, as well as several large crops.

Not advised for iPhone or small screens due to the bandwidth and size.

The series can be a learning tool for understanding the vignetting, bokeh and blur characteristics across the aperture series from f/1.4 through f/16.

The animated depth of field changes are a great learning tool for understanding how much to stop down for acceptable sharpness, much better than any table of numbers.
