Added to Guide to Leica is an aperture series with the Leica 100mm f/2.8 APO-Macro-Elmarit-R, shot with the Leica R-Adapter M on the Leica M Typ 240.

This subject was chosen for its semi planar nature which allows an analysis of across the frame sharpness. The same subject was shot with the 90/2 APO to give a perspective on relative performance of the two lenses.

HD and Ultra-HD images are included, along with large crops.

The Leica 100/2.8 APO could be a contender on the new Sony A7R as a high quality all around lens with macro capability (using an adapter), though its size and weight are notably greater than the 90mm f/2 APO.
