[Rumour] Leica Super APO Summicron SL 21mm f/2 ASPH lens

Super-APO-Summicron-SL 21 f/2 ASPH.

With the Super-APO-Summicron-SL 21 f/2 ASPH., Leica Camera AG simultaneously introduces the world’s first APO lens with a focal length of 21 mm. Hence, the high-performance wide-angle lens meets even the highest professional requirements and provides consistent sharpness right into the outer corners of the picture. This way, it becomes the latest family member of the APO-Summicron-SL lenses which stand for top performances in the optical field and impress with their fast, reliable Dual Synchro DriveTM autofocus. Just like the already available lenses with a focal length of 28, 35, 50, 75 or 90 mm, the Super-APO-Summicron-SL 21 f/2 ASPH. has the same compact dimensions with the same E67 filter diameter – despite the extreme viewing angle. This viewing angle of the Super-APO-Summicron-SL 21 f/2 ASPH. is predestined for the challenging use in landscape photography, indoors, during reportages, in the studio and in architectural photography. A closest focusing distance of only 21 cm also ensures effective detail shots while the big maximum aperture allows for additional creative possibilities due to the selective usage of sharpness and blur.
