Comments about Leica Tri-Elmar-M 16-18-21mm f/4 Asph. Lens (6-Bit) w/Universal W/A Viewfinder:

for some reason I use this lens at 16mm most of the time and wonder why I simply didn't buy a wide angle lens to begin with. I am new to leica glass, I have a 50mm 1.4 and a 90mm 2.0 and have the new 35mm on order. For landscape and for interesting perspectives I love this wide angle lens. leica has me so much more disciplined than when I was a dslr snapper. i love shooting wide open but am still experimenting.

The last time I saw an M lens this wide it cost $15,000used, thanks to collectors, so try to consider this abargain This lens on a M8 has put my Canon IDs with 24tilt-shift and the 16-35 on the shelf. It has also made meponder if I really still need my M 21mm 2.8 anymore. Thissharpness compared to any and all Canon wide lenses is verywelcome.The viewfinder really isn't necessary for framing thanks todigital, but the built in level allows me to shootarchitectural photos hand held. So sure, the viewfinder isbig, but it is smaller, lighter and less expensive than agitzo carbon fiber tripod. The electronic registration with the M is problematic fornow, the need for an adapter for the UV filter is an issue,but I have been happy with the images without filter while Iwait for it.Oh, and the price, it only goes up.Don't get confused on my rating of the ease of use at a 2,that's just a reflection of the viewfinder adjustments andthe need for filters etc.The fact that I rate this a five star as value for the moneyreflects how much I like this lens.
