Review Summary
2011-08-16T21:00:00
First off.. this is a no compromise lens. Excellent, super sharp performance. Some online reviews say it's sharper than the Leica 21mm 2.8 which is over twice as much. I used this initially with my (cropped sensor) M8 as a 28mm and now I use it with an M9. Wide open, you will see vignetting but enabling the M9's in-camera 21mm lens profile cleans this up dramatically. Great for detailed landscapes and excellent for buildings and architecture. I will give Leica a nod on slightly better build quality (hence the 4 stars) but this lens feels well built and built to last. It's has far more metal and a smoother feel than a high end SLR lens. These are often sold out and are hard to get but this lens is highly recommended.

I have used this lens on an M6 and an M8. It has the look and feel of a Leica lens. How is the picture quality? Color rendition and contrast are beautiful from edge to edge. The resolution is not quite equal to that of a Leica lens of similar focal length but for the price difference I don't mind.
