Great review as usual. I was a little disappointed that you didn’t cover diffraction limits at smaller apertures.
-
We talked about diffraction limits with the 60MP sensor on our Red Dot Forum Camera talk M11 Monochrom episode. Definitely best practice to avoid stopping down past f/5.6 for most shooting on the M11M. I found that stretching to f/8 for times I really needed the extra depth of field was still okay. But for sure, I would not recommend f/11-f/16, as there will be noticeable diffraction and softening of details.

Here, I'm just referring to the exposure slider in Lightroom. Each whole integer number represents one stop. So, if I'm pushing 3 stops that means that that exposure slider is set to +3.00. Hope that clarifies.
