So, I haven't done a lot of this, and I only had one sample of each lens, so take it for what it's costing you. But I think this is pretty interesting. If you look at the Left Mid-Corner, you can see some (but not a lot!) smearing impact making the Z7+M worse than the Z7+R [by the way, I also did D850+R; the results were identical to Z7+R]. But if you look at the Right Extreme Corner, it seems the far corner performance of the M lens is enough better than the much older R that it actually allows the Z7+M to pull a little ahead!
The older R lens also has a little more distortion than the M, although I know you can't really see that here.
The S1r was clearly the loser, which I think was a real blunder for the L-Alliance. M-compatibility would've been a great niche for them to target....Show more →
Thanks Lee that is really useful. It is clear the Panasonic cameras aren't going to play well with Leica M. I wonder what that will even mean for Leica L. I am guessing at this point that the Leica SL II will have just a bit better performance with the new Leica SL glass than the Panasonic. It looks like the L mount alliance didn't specify sensor cover glass thickness (as the SL from early reports seems to do better here than the Panny S1r). A bit of a blunder if you ask me, but it does let Leica protect their prices.
