Key Features
- Leica M-Mount Lens
- Aperture Range: f/2.8 to f/22
- ZEISS T* Anti-Reflective Coating
- Manual Focus Design
Balancing a super-wide focal length with a compact form factor, the silver Biogon T* 21mm f/2.8 ZM from ZEISS is a versatile lens designed for M-mount rangefinder cameras. Its wide-angle design is complemented by a Biogon optical concept, which nearly eliminates distortion for well-corrected, accurate rendering. A T* anti-reflective coating has also been applied to individual elements to reduce lens flare and ghosting for greater color accuracy and contrast in strong lighting conditions. Additionally, the lens's manual focus design permits working with subjects as close as 1.6' away.

question
Again how well does this lens deal with the sun ? Does this lens have a round hood available and will it be reversible ? for this price it should have options. Buying mainly for its smaller size than GM lenses.
This lens can perform well in the sun. The lens hood available for this lens is square and non reversible.

question
Does this take the round hoods ? How well does this sense deal with flare from sun ?Chris
Chris - I am not a big fan of lens hoods on ultra-wide lens as there is a risk of vignetting. A lens hood would only provide a very minor shade covering for a 21mm anyway. Besides a Leica, I also shoot with a Nikon 800e with an ultra-wide angle...I just do not bother with the useless hood that came with the lens. If sun flare may be an issue, I usually just use my hand to shade the lens (obviously keeping my hand out of the photo!). Otherwise, use a tripod and something like a card, your hand, a hat, etc to shade the lens from the flare. Great lens for wide landscapes. Cheers, Kent

question
How would this compare with the ZF ZE line of zeiss manual focus lenses? Would you get similar performance on a full frame Sony camera?
Don't really know. I bought the ZM for my Leica M240 and have been extremely pleased. Very sharp and crisp, even when wide open. Very nice glass.
