Reviews

One of the best type lenses in the world & Affordable. 5.0/5

One of the best type lenses in the world & Affordable. One of the best 21mm type lenses in the world and Affordable. Sensibly priced compared to Leica's insane pricing and just as good visualy. Has a more technical presentation than other lenses and a neutral color tone that you can adjust in photoshop. Check pictures taken with the lens to see if you like this.

Great entree level lens5.0/5

Great entree level lens Corners are a little fuzzy and drops lights but it gets sharp and equal exposure at f8. Use f2.8 on purpose to get unique effect as well. Distortion is minimal so it works pretty well for architectures.
