Uncompromising performance
The high-performance wide-angle lens records images and videos with top optical performance. The wide angle of view ensures impressive perspectives and detailed images. Due to the performance typical of Leica APO lenses, it delivers extraordinary contrast even in difficult lighting conditions and offers additional design options through the targeted play with sharpness and blur. Natural skin tones, smooth transitions and sharpness right into the corners of the image are a matter of course with Leica APO lenses. The optics therefore meet all the requirements of sophisticated landscape, interior, architecture, reportage and studio photography.
construction in detail
14 high-precision lenses, three of which have an aspherical surface, divided into 11 groups, contribute to the highest level of image quality even with the aperture fully open. Unique to the super wide angle is its apochromatic correction, which makes it the world's first 21mm APO lens for full-frame cameras. To perfectly correct chromatic aberrations, most of the lens elements used have anomalous partial dispersion and are made of special glass, the sophisticated processing of which allows even the most innovative manufacturing methods to make full use of it.
