About this product

Product Information

With the introduction of the ELMARIT-M f/2.8/21 mm ASPH., Leica Camera has added a new super-wide-angle lens of the highest optical performance to its range of lenses for the LEICA M6 and all older M models. In order to achieve a visible improvement of the image quality, the optical complexity was increased considerably in comparison with the lens's predecessor: the new lens now comprises 9 elements in 7 components, including one element with an aspherical surface. Three of the elements are composed of high-refractive glass and two of glass with partial anomalous dispersion. Thanks to these improvements and a sophisticated optical design, a lens has been created, which, although considerably smaller than its predecessor, features visibly enhanced optical performance.Even at full aperture the lens is notable for its very good reproduction of contrast and detail in the center of the image and across the entire image field. Comma and astigmatism are virtually non-existent up to an image height of 18 mm. This very good performance can be enhanced still further by stopping down slightly. Another remarkable feature of the lens is its perfectly flattened field and its low tendency towards flare under unfavorable shooting conditions, for example where the image contains light sources. The lens provides further proof that sophisticated and complex optical design and state-of-the-art production methods can be used to set new quality standards for super-wide-angle lenses. With the ELMARIT-M f/2.8/21 mm ASPH., Leica Camera has added yet another high-performance lens to the LEICA M system. Thanks to its compact design and excellent optical performance, this lens proudly takes its place in the new generation of super-wide-angle lenses.

  • Fantastic lens with the Leica optical and build quality one expects

    Fantastic Leica lens. Superior build quality which you would expect from a Leica lens. I have owned almost every version of 21mm lenses Leica makes. I still have the 21/4 Super Angulon and had the previous version, the 21/2.8 Elmarit. I have kept the Super Angulon for sentimental reasons, certainly not for its performance, though. The 21/2.8 ASPH is a huge improvement over the Elmarit. The 21/2.8 ASPH is almost as good as the new 21 SEM, but is a bit faster speed wise and a nice like new clean copy such as this one is considerably less costly. My copy of this lens is also 6-bit coded, which automatically tells the camera what corrections to apply to eliminate vignetting and color casts on the borders of the frame. Other lenses to consider would be the Zeiss 21/2.8 ZM and the CV 21/4 Color ...
