21mm Lenses

The 21mm focal length is a favorite super-wide angle for many Leica photographers. It strikes a balance between the extreme drama of a 15mm and the more "standard" wide angle of a 28mm. It is exceptional for sweeping landscapes, tight interiors, and dynamic documentary work.

Key Characteristics

• Dynamic: Excellent for environmental storytelling where you need to fit a lot in the frame.
• Distortion: Generally very well controlled in high-end M-mount lenses compared to SLRs.
• Framing: Often requires an external finder or Visoflex/Live View on digital M bodies.
