from Ebay Summary: Superb lens ! Very sharp, from the center to the edges and very lightweight compared to its companions. The mechanical quality is that of a swiss chronograph. No tolerances ! And focussing with the focussing tab is fast, convenient and efficient.
The only thing you have to pay attention to is the exact composition of the picture concerning the horizon or horizontal lines. I'm using the optional 21/24/28mm vario-viewfinder. I prefer this one, because the 21mm single-focal-lenght finder is much darker and made out of plastic.
No lens is perfect ! Every lens is the best compromise for the task it was built for. And this one is a great one. I'm using the following focal lengths for eht Leica M6 : 21/2.8 asph, 28/2.8, 50/2 and the 90/2.8.
The Elmarit 21 asph together with the Contax Biogon 21 are the best super wide angle lenses in this focal lenght that you may get. Which one to get depends on your camera system. Strengths: Mecanics without tolerances, optics, lightweight and small compared to SLR lenses Weaknesses: None Similar Products Used: Leica M 28, 50, 90
Leica R 24, 50/1.4, 100 Apo, 35-70/4, 70-180/2.8 Apo Customer Service: Great. There's no better one on earth ! Fast, friendly, efficient and worth the money
