Leica’s 24mm f/1.4 Summilux is one of only two such lenses in production—the other one is the Canon EF 24mm f/1.4L II. How does this fast wide angle lens fare? Proof of performance: Shot wide-open at f/1/4 with the 24mm f/1.4 Summilux-M this env...

Truly, the Leica M9 is a camera unlike any other. Is this the rangefinder camera Leica aficionados have been waiting for?
The Leica SUMMILUX-M 21 mm f/1.4 ASPH is the first and only 21mm small camera lens with this lens speed. The outstanding image quality, very large image angles and compact dimensions make the Leica SUMMILUX-M 21 mm f/1.4 ASPH a particularly versatile performer. At full aperture, the depth of field (DOF) is extremely shallow.
As a result, in close-ups the main subject can be separated effectively from the background to create very expressive photographs. At a medium stop, the focal range is so great that entire scenes can be reproduced sharply. Because of the floating element, the very high resolution is retained even in the close-up range. Vignetting and distortion are both corrected excellently for a lens of this speed.
