Old tech but good This lens weighs almost 2lb so you won’t want to just hang it on your camera in the hopes you’ll find an interesting subject. I use it on an M4 with an adapter. Stopping down to f8 or more gets a sharp image. There’s no distortion or flaring. Results are great.
Thank you for yuour great trade. I like this lens to add to my life time collection. It was great trade. The item is perfect for my vintage collection for actual use portfolio. Thanks millions for your high quality trust and trade. Akira
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.
