Leica 21mm f3.4 Super-Elmar-M ASPH 11145
The lens launched in 2011 is almost close to 10 years, and the imaging performance is still quite satisfactory
Refer to Leica 21mm, I will first think of Schneider ’s OEM Super-Angulon 21mm f / 3.4 (21SA) image with a bit of a retro, old lens taste, and the light blue & purple tone … It ’s a pity that this lens is designed for film use, and digital performance is not ideal… After using the M9, A7R2 Mod for some time, I always want to find a Leica 21mm. Finally, I chose Leica 21mm f3.4 Super-Elmar-M ASPH as my 21mm lenses…
I started the Leica 21mm f3.4 Super-Elmar-M ASPH in 2016. It has been more than four years. There are not many comments on the Internet. Most of Google ’s comments are the reviews left when it was first launched in 2011. The digital performance can be said to maintain a certain sharpness from the center to the side, and the deformation control is also a good level. There is no obvious barrel change, the color performance is strong and bright, and the bright, fully open aperture is visible …

21SE consists of eight lenses in seven groups, including 2 aspherical surfaces and 4 unconventional partial dispersion glasses, which can effectively reduce deformation and vignetting
The original hood can be shared with 11663, it looks really good after being installed The 21SE mirror body is about the same as Leica 28/2 ASPH, it is light and easy to wear, only weighs about 280g The rear mirror group is a flat lens, specially designed for digital use
I liked to collect 21mm Viewfinder, from left: Avenon / Ricoh GR21 / Contax G21 / Zi 21 / Ricoh GV-1 In the end, I only leave Zeiss ZI 21mm and GV-1. The most commonly used one is the GV-1.
Body control
The lens body adopts the current Leica lens design, the lens is made of metal materials, and the workmanship is solid. The weight of 280g is considered to be light and easy to carry, which is a strong contrast with the weight of Leica Summilux 21 / 1.4 580g … Lens focus ring resistance Moderate.

Leica M9 + Leica 21mm F3.4 SE
When using the M9, I like to shoot with a focal length of F5.6-F8 @ 2 meters super focal length in exchange for sufficient depth of field. What I need is to concentrate on the OVF composition and press the shutter. . .
The metal texture of M9 CCD + 21SE is really good under the sunny day …
Leica M10D
After purchasing the M10D, it takes me more time to use the 21SE, because of its 6-bit coding, the body can read the lens profile.
The 21mm wide-angle lens is a good focal point for the author to learn multi-layer composition …
Sony A7R2 NKIR v3+/ 21SE
I used A7R2 thin filter mod for years, 21SE performance is very good, it can meet the requirements of 42mp. The imaging from the center to the side is also very satisfying. When using 21SE in A7R2 / R3 42mp, I still prefer to focus as accurately as possible…
To sum up:
Overall, I am very satisfied with the 21SE’s image quality, color performance, and deformation control. It is a very practical and lightweight human landscape travel lens … but it is too perfect… The biggest reason for me to continue to stay with this lens is that it can meet most of the needs of multiple systems.
