Leica should have trained every store staff(worldwide) to possess at least 0.1% of Nick's knowledge, experience and skills.

Shooting on the M11P currently... and loving it!!! As far as wides go I have the 28 LUX... now that is one stellar lens. So had to save a few bucks and opted for the 21mm 3.4. Best W/A combo I've ever owned!!!

You’re photos are always superb The subject, composition, framing and light are wonderful art

@@LeicaCameraAustralia My copy of the Leica Pocket Book 8th edition says that the Super-Angulon 21mm f4 was first released in 1958.

Nick enjoyed the explanations especially the photo with the puddle of water and the bike rider. What a fortunate shot 👏 I

Superb photography.🏆 Excellent description of the capabilities of a 21mm focal length.👍

Many thanks!

I love the 21 mm focal length as much as the 35 mm one... in my kit I only have an Apo Summicron 35 mm and Elmarit 21 mm Pre Asph and as soon as I can I will get a Summilux 21 mm

“Good Fortune” = Preparedness meets opportunity - great images Nick

Professional as always. My lens collection for my M-P 240/M 240 includes a 21, 50 and 90 mm. I'm a great fan of the 21 mm focal length, and it has been very useful in tight spaces and low light conditions as well. So I agree with Nick! BTW: you make some of the best and helpful reviews on YT. Keep on rolling!

I truly appreciate your command of the material presented here along with your artistry which like your outstanding compositions are of the highest level I've seen here on this topic!!! Thank you!!!

Thank you very much!

The 21mm lens maybe considered ' ultra wide ' , but in my experience it is actually the most natural and closest to the coverage of the human eyes and its angular coverage of about 90 degrees falls within the sweet range of the human ' Binocular ' vision. The point to remember in photography is that the human mind, a super computer if there ever was, interprets and adjusts the visual information received from the eye in a manner as to fulfill our expectations of the perspective as we want it to be. I do have a few 20mm and 21 mm lenses, including a Leitz Leica 21 mm F2.8 Elmarit M ASPH, a 21 mm F2.8 Zeiss Biogon for Contax G, and a Nikkor AIS 20mm F2.8. They are all superb lenses.

Wow, amazing photos that really demonstrate why you would want the 21mm focal length. Nicely done!

My 21mm f3.4 Super Angulon is a lovely lens Nick. On a digital you do get colour fringing because of the proximity of the rear element to the sensor but that can be dealt with in post. Having said that, on my M-A it works really well and because it is vintage, it renders beautifully and is not as clinical as the modern lenses. It also looks beautiful and is an engineering masterpiece.

Great video. Very educational. RS. Canada

I was considering getting a 21mm. This video helped me make my mind and go for it! I'm buying the 21mm 3.4 since size is important to me and the smaller aperture size works best for my style of photography. The tips in this video also helped me to find in what situations the wide angle lenses work best.

Good choice!

Thanks a lot for this great video! Love the 21mm focal length and shooting my 21/f.1.4

I wish we had this level of Leica support in New Zealand.

@7:54 It is actually 2 and a half stops, but yes the difference is dramatic on a 21.

Thank you so much for this video. 21 mm is one of my favorites for street photography. I use the VOIGTLANDER SKOPAR 21MM F/4.0 P-TYPE VM LEICA M-BAJONETT wich is very affordable.

Loving these videos!

You and me both!

Love the 21 for that wide shooting and environmental stuff, I have an old Leitz 21mm Elmarit-M f2.8 which is always on one of my 3 M9s the other 2 have 35mm Summicron and 75mm Summarit-M f2.5 a great go anywhere combination IMO.

I greatly appreciate your review, more special when you have great images to showcase the lens instead of pictures of cats. I think an used and well cared lux vs a new elmar would be my choice and you helped me to make my choice. I still shoot film as well so the extra stops will help. Great job! Thank you

Incredible images and incredible glasses Nick!! Will we ever see a 21mm for SL? Cheers!!

I believe one is on the roadmap - not sure when it's due though.

Great educational video, thanks. Do you have a view on the 16-18-21 Tri-Elmar ?

Thanks for the video. My favorite lenses for my Nikon SLR film camera were: 24mm f/2 35mm f/1.4 85mm f/1.4 I tried to duplicate my favorite lenses on my Leica M6 and M10: 21mm f/1.4 35mm f/1.4 90mm f/2 I am very pleased.

To Narsuitus : I have exactly the same Leica and Nikon equipment as you have and I also enjoy it all immensely. RS. Canada

I am fortunate to own the 18 mm Super Elmar besides the 21 mm Elmarit ASPH since both lenses are no longer in production. It seems the reviews on the 21 mm Elmarit have not been too favorable compared to the other two 21 mm lenses. I found those wide angle lenses work well on my SL2.

Wonderful video. Are these photos made by a digital camera or a film camera ? Thanks so much. RS. Canada

All digital. Mostly SL2.

Amazing photos! Leica summilux 21 mm 1.4 is one of the best M lenses and my favourite focal lenght but I’m wondering if it will fit well with new leica M11 or we need new lenses for M11 new sensor? Thank you

You should do one review of the defunct 24mm.

Pretty sure that was on an SL - I love the M lenses on the SL system cameras. I'm just printing some 30x40 inch prints from my SL2 and M11 with the 18mm Super-elmar. Looking great!

Hi Nick, Do you know if there is a Circ Polarizing filter for this lens? And if so, does that require a different type of hood? Thanks
