My M lenses tested

It was a slow day at work yesterday so I decided to test all of my lenses on my M11. All shots were taken from the same location on a tripod, focused at infinity, and shot at every available aperture stop. If you like pixel-peeping for sharpness or diffraction on the M11 than feel free to review the files. All are exported from Lightroom without edits.

The following lenses were tested:

• Voigtlander Super Wide-Heliar 15mm F4.5 Aspherical III VM
• Leica Super-Elmar-M 21mm f/3.4 ASPH
• Leica Elmarit-M 28mm f/2.8 ASPH
• Leica Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 ASPH
• Leica APO-Summicron-M 50mm f/2 ASPH
• Leica Elmarit-M 90mm/F2.8
• Voigtlander 90mm f/2.8 Apo-Skopar

Files are named with the focal length and applicable aperture, and can be access via the following Google link:

I am happy to see that over ten people looked through these photos, but surprisingly no comments… Does anyone have any?

At least you live in a nice area

Why don't you name the photos with lens name and aperture? Presently download via right-click is a best guess and each download contains a lot of unwanted files.

What kind of comment did you expect or hope for? And more important perhaps: what was the reason for this test, apart from having a slow day at work?

I am surprised because I named each file in the following manner: "50mm_F2_0.jpg". Additionally, I just tried to download a few, and those files were saved with the file name in this format. Perhaps Google is renaming the files?

Thank you! I was curious to see how my lenses perform since I rarely stop them down that far. I was pleasantly surprised by how good the images are when stopped down beyond F8. I uploaded them here, thinking it might be helpful for some.

No expectations for comments, though! 😊

Yes I can confirm all files are named properly which is very convenient, thank you. I did download by clicking on the three dots symbol in the upper right corner, and got the files saved with these names. Maybe @AndreasG took another way to download?
