ELMARIT-M 21 mm f/2.8 ASPH
|
| This compact extreme wide-angle lens produces outstanding contrast and detail rendition at full aperture. The pro-verbial Leica image quality is preserved even in the close-up range. Distortion is minimal and negligible in photographic practice. At f/5.6 this lens is free of artificial vignetting. With all these qualities, it is ideally suited for dramatic effects with monumental foregrounds and strongly receding backgrounds with distant horizons. Because an extremely large depth-of-field is already achieved with a slightly stopped- down aperture, sharp dramatic pictures can be made during live reportage photography. |
