FAQs:

What is a Summicron lens?

‘Summicron’ is a designated label Leica uses for lenses featuring an f2 maximum aperture. Summicron lenses come in various focal lengths, including 28 mm, 35 mm, 50 mm, 75 mm, and 90 mm. Leica originally assigned the term to their first M-system lenses. Later, Leica also used the term for R lenses and, finally, for the most recent SL lenses.

What does Leica ‘SL’ stand for?

Born from Leica’s fundamental idea to support the work of creatives with the highest level of optical quality, Leica designed SL lenses to deliver unsurpassed results for photographers and filmmakers. Users can expect edge-to-edge sharpness, accurate colour reproduction, and natural bokeh when purchasing an SL series lens. APO lenses in the SL series hold the highest standards, with apochromatic correction for exceptional results and a compact build for easy storage and transportation.

What types of photography is the Leica 21mm f2 Super-APO-Summicron ASPH Lens suitable for?

The Leica 21mm f2 Super-APO-Summicron ASPH Lens is perfect for capturing landscapes, tight interiors, architecture, and street photography thanks to its wide 21mm focal length. As a wide-angle prime with a compact build, it also lends nicely to solo shooting, self-portraits, and group shots. Thanks to this versatility, the Leica 21mm f2 Super-APO-Summicron ASPH Lens would make a great companion for travellers and explorers.

How compact is the Leica 21mm f2 Super-APO-Summicron ASPH Lens?

The Leica 21mm f2 Super-APO-Summicron ASPH Lens benefits from a compact and lightweight design, measuring only 102mm long and weighing just 789g. This build makes this lens incredibly easy to store and transport from one location to the next.

How do you control the aperture on the Leica 21mm f2 Super-APO-Summicron ASPH Lens?

Without a dedicated ring, users must control the aperture electronically on the Leica 21mm f2 Super-APO-Summicron ASPH Lens. Users can set the aperture on their camera once connected via the Leica L bayonet fitting with a contact strip.

Does the Leica 21mm f2 Super-APO-Summicron ASPH Lens support manual and automatic focusing?

Yes, the Leica 21mm f2 Super-APO-Summicron ASPH Lens supports manual and automatic focusing. Like the aperture, users can control the focus settings in the camera. Unfortunately, this lens does not feature a dedicated MF Switch.
