ライカ スーパー・エルマーM f3.4/21mm ASPH.

The Super-Elmar-M 21 mm f/3.4 ASPH. was engineered for photography that demands uncompromising image quality. An M-Lens that adds barely any weight, yet offers remarkable visual impact. With its expansive 91-degree angle of view, it captures wide spaces, renders architecture free from distortion and presents landscapes with striking clarity. This lens embodies optical mastery and documentary precision – modest in appearance, yet striking in expression.

The Super-Elmar-M 21 f/3.4 ASPH. stands out for its meticulous detail, linear rendering, and exceptional suppression of glare and reflections. Perfectly suited to architectural photography, street reportage and sweeping nature scenes. The moderate f/3.4 lens speed allows for an exceptionally compact design that pairs seamlessly with M-System cameras. At the same time, the lens maintains exceptional robustness and durability, even through extended use or under challenging conditions. Its natural rendering, coupled with precise correction of optical aberrations, makes it a preferred choice for those who value uncompromising lines and time-tested quality.

Eight lenses arranged in seven groups – including an aspherical lens – deliver a virtually distortion-free image with uniform sharpness across the entire field of view. Special glass elements featuring anomalous partial dispersion minimise colour aberrations, even with high-contrast subjects. Its close focus distance is 0.7 metres. The lens is supplied with a rectangular metal lens hood that not only offers effective protection against stray light, but also accentuates the clear, technical design of this M-Lens with E46 filter thread.
