About this product

Product Information

The Leica Super-Angulon Aspherical lens is a high quality, compact lens with a sophisticated optical design. With a maximum aperture of f/3.4, the Leica Aspherical lens has high quality, optimum contrast, even when using the highest focusing distance. The hood of the Leica Aspherical lens, which is metal and screw mounted, prevents flare problems and ensures that the image is very sharp. The Super-Angulon Aspherical lens is particularly suitable for photography such as landscape and architecture. The focal length of 21 mm means that the Super-Angulon Aspherical lens is an ideal choice for photojournalistic photography. The Leica Super-Angulon Aspherical lens is constructed from 8 elements, 4 of which have anomalous partial dispersion and 1 with two aspherical surfaces. This ensures that the Leica Super-Angulon Aspherical lens has reduced distortion and keeps vignetting (reduction of an image's brightness or saturation at the periphery compared to the image center) to a minimum. The Leica Aspherical lens offers a high performance for all super wide-angle photography situations.

  • Leica Quality 21mm Lens

    This is a great lens if you need this focal length. It's sharp but has maybe a bit too much contrast that is easily correctable in post processing. Colors are rendered nicely. The lens handles good on a Leica M and CL. The focusing tab is helpful and makes focusing easy. Distortion and vignetting are minor, and to be expected on such a wide angle lens. It is also correctable in post. As for value -- it is a Leica M lens. It's expensive but built like a tank to last for decades if treated right.

  • Fantastic Compact Ultra Wide Angle Lens

    I was looking for a decent Ultra Wide Angle Lens for my Leica M9/M10 camera. I wanted something fairly compact and something that offered a fairly decent Ultra Wide Angle view without too much distortion. This is fantastic, it meets pretty much all my criteria. Its sharp, from corner to corner, and the colors and rendering are amazing for this lens. Its great for traveling and doing landscape photography. The only real downside to this lens, is its not a fast lens, its F/3.4 aperture is not well suited for low light photography, especially on an older M system where you can't crank the ISO. However, for my needs it still great, and I'd rather have the small size and portability of this lens over the bulk and weight of the 21mm Summilux that Leica offers. The price of the lens is also significantly less than then Summilux. Overall, I would definitely recommend this lens for anyone who wants modest UWA lens, thats compact and offeres excellent optics.

  • Leica 21mm SuperElmar

    This may very well be the best 21 mm lens ithat Leica makes. It is small, not horribly expensive and produces wonderful images.It is also beautifully made, as almost all of the M lenses are If you shoot with a Leica and want a 21 mm lens, this is the one to have.

  • Leica Super Elmar 21mm f3.4

    Another fantastic lens from Leica with the kind of quality and function I have come to expect in a Leica product! I have owned the Leica 21mmSuper Angulon f3.4 as well as the Elmarit M 21mm f2.8 and this lens has less distortion and produces extremely sharp images with great contrast and colors! This is a keeper for sure and I highly recommend the lens !!

  • Super-Elmar-m F/3.4 - `Near Perfect Ultra Wide Angle Leica M lens

    Stunningly sharp wide open through f/8. Would be “perfect” if were a Summicron (f/2) to allow for a fit of subject/background separation but hey, this is not a portrait lens. Built to last with beautiful image quality.
