Leica Super-APO-Summicron-SL 21mm f/2 ASPH. Overview

Bringing impeccable image quality to a wider perspective, Leica introduces the Super-APO-Summicron-SL 21mm f/2 ASPH Lens. A world's first APO lens at this focal length, the 21mm f/2 is another addition to an already impressive array of APO-Summicron-SL lenses and features Leica's fast Dual Synchro Drive autofocus system. The combination of a bright f/2 maximum aperture and wide-angle view allows this lens to excel in several shooting scenarios including landscape, interior, street, and architectural photography.

World's First 21mm APO Lens
Being an APO lens, the 21mm f/2 dramatically reduces chromatic aberration and produces sharp, color-accurate images with ample contrast between your focal point and background. Leica's use of three aspherical lens elements and low-dispersion glass reduces color fringing and allows all colors to converge on the same focal plane.
Dual Synchro Drive AF
The autofocus system featured in Leica Summicron-SL lenses provides fast and silent focusing performance from 0.21m to infinity. With the combination of a constant aperture of f/2 and Leica's Dual Synchro Drive AF, this lens creates visually stunning video and panoramas.

Finally received the lens as it was backordered. This lens is super sharp corner to corner even wide open at f2.0. So for a wide angle-- just outstanding. I have taken a number of images on my SL3. Clearly lives up to my expectations with the SL line of lenses.
